Can you switch out the pec deck with a chest press?

You're doing two rotational exercises for your chest; you might find more gains from focusing on the push motion of a press instead.

Besides, pec decks are known to be a cause of a number of injuries.

Also you might find you're doing too much with your shoulders and triceps--in proportion to the rest of your routine. Try reducing the number of exercises and perhaps increase the intensity: slow the movement down and/or increase the weight.
