Those are isolation exercises so no need to use strength techniques on them. Awais, lower the weight and use proper form – lie straight and don’t attempt to use irradiation techniques.

I do similar - I have my clients' program broken up into 4 week blocks, following the pattern: Week1, hard, Week2, medium, Week, 3, very hard, Week 4, easy - Thought I always keep the poundages as heavy as possible, I'll lower the number of sets on my "easy" and "medium" weeks. I'm sure you agree that this will allow you to lift heavier poundages without getting hurt, which is easy w/ the bench press.
