so i've been going to the gym since dezember 25 and at first my chest weight was going up but since march it slowly goes down. I peaked 60 kg in march and now i'm currently at 50 kg and my chest isn't growing.
can you pls give me some tips to get my chest in form(btw i'm doing butterfly, flat benchpress and benchpress at a 45 angle)
 
the weight dropping from 60 to 50kg on bench is almost certainly a recovery and volume issue rather than a technique one. the three exercises you're doing are solid choices but here's what's probably going wrong you're likely not eating enough protein or overall calories to actually build muscle, because if you're trying to get lean at the same time your body is basically fighting itself, you can't efficiently build and cut simultaneously especially as a beginner. so dial in nutrition first, get at least 0.8g of protein per pound of bodyweight daily, that's non negotiable. second thing is progressive overload, you need to be tracking your weights and reps every single session and actively trying to beat your previous numbers, even by one rep, because without that your chest has no reason to grow. third is make sure your bench form is actually loading the chest properly a lot of people are accidentally making it a shoulder and tricep dominant movement, so focus on retracting your shoulder blades, keeping your chest up and really squeezing the chest at the top of every rep. also add cable flyes or dumbbell flyes instead of just the machine butterfly since it gives a better stretch under load which is really important for chest growth. and finally make sure you're resting enough between sessions, chest needs at least 48 hours. fix the nutrition first though, that's almost definitely the main issue (atleast most common prob)
 
This could be because of overtraining and fatigue, start lifting on 60-70% of the weight that you normally do. Maybe I slight carb bump could help.
 
I suggest eating rice, pasta and potato’s. They give you good calories and the carbs you need

Imo I dont really know how you could go down 10kgs if you have been there training those muscles, you might not grow that much and get stronger if you use the same weight all the time. But that shouldt mean that your strenght declines if you havent been eating enough or just bad stuff in general all the time. Have you had any injuries or long breaks?
Ive been training for a year and a half and seen alot of growth in my chest area and increased my bench to alot. So I think that if you wanna target "growth", you shouldt primarily do all those exercises. I would recommend that you do 2 sets of incline bench and 2 sets of machine flys. You dont need more than that and doing to much will most likely cause loss of strength in some cases and not getting much growth.

I cant say much since im 14 and not a professional but id say that if you dont overstimulate your muscles, sleep well, eat enough, consistently add weight and rest well. It will most likely fix your issue ❤️

recover bro your split probably gives wayyy too much load in your chest and that’s causing it to get overworked
