How can I get an effective Chest Workout without tiring my Arms??

Everytime I go to the gym, I end up doing chest exercises like bench, dumbell press, shoulder press, and Incline bench, but by the time I’ve done all these, my arms are dead but I don’t feel like I’ve been effective with my chest. Please help.

First I’d lose the shoulder press for your chest workout. Move it to your shoulders day. Maybe you could alternate you benching exercises (only do 2 per workout) because they will tire you triceps muscles out well before you chest does. Reason being is they are used so much with pressing movements and they are a much smaller muscle than your chest muscles. Exchange one of the bench exercises with dumbbell flys or if you have access to a cage do cable crosses. This will give your triceps a break and you’ll still be able to effectively work your chest
