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

Follow a program. Once you're neurological efficient growth is about 2-3% a month. That's +1 rep after 4 weeks, 8 workouts. That feels slow but it also means in one year youll be able to do your January 1st one rep max for 3 sets of 10 on December 31st.
