Incline dumbell flyes may help with your pecs especially if you normally do not do them, I respond well to them but everyone is different but they may be worth a shot, doing your bench presses with an incline may help as well.
With the way I like to work out it's hard for me to use free weights. I workout alone and hate asking for a spotter. I typically go to failure and you just can't do that free weights without a spotter so I've resorted to HS or Smith machines so I can lock out or just let it drop when I fail.

I got two weeks to think on my next routine. I'll figure something out. Dumb bells may be the way to go for the next one. I haven't done those in a while. They're just hard to get up on my lap and maneuvered up for the first rep. The last time I did them I was doing 80s or 90s. Will probably start at 70s if I start them again.
