quick muscular fatigue for chest

For some reason whenver i bench or do some kind of pressing motion for my chest i get less reps evey set. Like say i get 10 reps my first set then ill only be able to do like 6 then 4. i do have relaively long arms. Is this normal.

You're asking if it's normal for your chest to get tired when you're benching? Really?

If you're trying to do the same number of reps every set and can't then you're doing too much weight.

Yea i know its normal for my chest to get tired but say im curling or squatting or watever i could get say 10 reps every set. my chest is the only muscle that fatigues so much after evey set. my first set of 10 will be easy then i cant get more then 6 next set i my life depended on it.
