All of my reps im going til I fail. I'm a little bummed about my chest. The exercises Ive been doing dont seem to produce that burn and pump like on my other parts. Am I doing something wrong? Gettin ready to hit the gym and I could really use some help to make this as productive as possible.

Don't focus on moving so much weight with your chest until you can properly use the correct muscles to complete the exercise. No point in doing pec flies with 65 lb dumbells if you're cheating yourself out of using the intended muscles to move the weight.
Cable crossovers, free weight movements, a dip machine if you have one in your gym....
Focus on lighter weights and getting the contraction and burn in the places intended. Forge that mind muscle connection and then add weight bro.

Im warming up with a lighter weight and focusing on the form and getting a good squeeze in at the end of the motion of the rep and increaing the weight on each set. Seemed to work fairly well for me yesterday. Any more tips you guys have for training Id be more than willing to implement them.
I often go to failure or near failure as well. I first got into that when I was in my 20s after reading BLood and guts by Dorian yates. After college I took about 16 years off from the gym with a sit on my duff job that threw money at us and I was at work huge hours per week.
Got back into lifting and did some reading of mike mentzer heavy duty. How long will you go with going to total failure? I was doing it for like non stop. Then a buddy was saying every now and then do a couple weeks of say 3 sets of 15 reps leaving some gas in the tank for the joints. Also what are you running per bodypart set wise. Chest I do about 6-8 work sets, back is about 8-10, shoulders 4-6, bicepts 3-6, triceps 5-7, legs are about 10 sets and calves 6 sets. Abs are 9 sets over 2 or 3 excercises.

Im generally utilizing 3-6 work outs per body part @10 reps and 3-4 sets per lift. Started this program due to my schedule for work and family. Ive recently been integrating some light cardio before each session. Gotta say over the past couple weeks its done wonders for my body fat loss and my metabolism. Within the next month Im hoping its squared enough to where i can up my caloric intake along with my training sessions. Im still in my initial training stages as its been a while since ive been diligent about training. I cant really work out the way i used to mainly because im a member at planet gayness, but i go there because I travel for my job and it made sense because they generally have a location close by the hotels we get shacked up in and its cheap. So needless to say i can breath exaggerated but not disturb the waddlers.
Ive heard about that, but i haven't actually seen any of it yet. Plus over the past month ive really became accustom to my nutrition plan. Spent about 3 hours in the kitchen today prepping meals for my trip to Erie,Pa this week. The company i work for installs truck scales. Definitely doing my best to take precautions and not get caught with my pants down and stray from my plan.
