Problem: By the time you did three sets on the lowest weight, youre too tired to finish the 6 other sets at higher weights
Do each angle separately?
Problem: You tire yourself at one angle, and the other angles dont get worked properly
Do a different angle each week on chest day.
Problem: Variation is very spread out.
Any ideas?

The best way to go about chest training is to first look at your chest in the mirror and determine which part of it is lagging the most. For example, most lifter's upper chest is the weakest area, so in this case, it would be wise to target that area first in your routine by doing your
incline presses first. Then, depending on which area is your next weekest, do an exercise to target that area next...and so on. This is basically using the priority principle, doing an exercise first for what is weakest when you are fresh and can really focus and apply 100% intensity to your biggest problem area...and then working in succession towards your strongest part.
I would do it by working one angle (like doing your sets for incline presses all first), then moving onto your next angle (flat or decline) and then doing your sets for that...and so on. An example of this would be:
Incline Bench Press: 3 sets of "x" reps
then move to....
Flat Bench Press: 2 sets of "x" reps
then move to....
Decline Bench Press: 2 sets of "x" reps
Hope that makes sense.
