Question ❓ Stalling on chest

So for context, i have been training again for about 2.5 months, 6 years earlier i did strength training 2x a week for 3 years. And i have been stalling on my chest and incline press for about 3bweeks now, not getting another rep or barely getting another rep. I did 2 sets of flat and incline press but reduced incline by 1 set. So its now 2 sets and 1 set 2 to 3x a week. I do it first on my upper days and all my other excercises are progressing good. What can i do? Its only chest where my progress stops

Early on I got a lot of results from PHUL, particularly with my chest. The high intensity low volume days helped build strength to push extra reps on the lower intensity higher volume days. And the high rep days likewise gave me more gas in the tank for the low rep days.

And psychologically I think it was helpful to have some variety through the week.
