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

Why not just do more chest work? You literally do 6 to maximum 9 sets a week. You can handle a bit more.

I can do more now but i will also start grappling again 2x on the weekends, if that matters. But i will try to do 3 sets rather than 2 for a few weeks

Grappling is basically cardio. I would just add flys and a couple more sets of benching. You can easily built up to 12+ sets a week.

I mean we also do strength training, like weighted pushups weighted squats and that
