Mind muscle connection

[big_rich]

I have great mind muscle connection with every muscle group except for chest. When i do heavy compound movements I dont feel I activate my chest. when I do cable fly style movements my chest goes crazy but the heavy weight movements aka dB and barbell bench I jist don't feel the connection like I do with every other muscle group. What are some things you guys used to gain that connection with your chest.

Honestly I lightened up the load some. Slower negatives with a one second pause at the bottom for the stretch. Since using this method I’ve gotten a lot better connection and making better progress. Just what’s working for me.

Before that I was just moving the weight basically.

That's how I feel sometimes. I know next day pain dosent reflect muscle growth, but it deff lets you know you worked that day. With my back, I get so pumped up it's crazy its my best body part, but I need to bring my chest size up to compare with my back. I will try that and see I used to struggle with my back too, and once I gained that connection, my back really started responding.
