Bench Press - You can move more weight. However, I try to avoid as it kills my elbows. Try to stick to dumbells. However, for pure mass, I think Bench Press is tough to beat.

Buy some wrist straps for your heavy sets,a good chest start with big benching, you don't see many powerlifters without thick dense chest tissue.

Prolly best to alternate between benching and DB work aswell so you keep the strength similar.

Re: best chest building exersise
Bench press is best for most people, but it depends on body mechanics IMHO. Some people do better on dips.

Re: best chest building exersise
Bench press personally, I've never had any problems going as heavy as singles but know lots of others who have.

Re: best chest building exersise
incline dumbbell seems best for muscularity but for strength and over all mass flat bench

Re: best chest building exersise
Incline flys or db presses.
Followed by a good pec dec for the squeeze!

I have always struggled to get benching actually into the chest. Shoulders always seem to take over.

Re: best chest building exersise
im a fair beginner at weight training, but i noticed that when I bench if I dont go with a wide grip i dont feel it in my chest. I try to get my hands quite wide, which seems to change the emphasis from delts to pecs.

Mate you need to try and alter your grip width then, and then you need to lower the poundages until you can do extremly strict reps in a nice controlled manner 3 to lower and 3 to lift/push, if you can do this then your chest will grow, I remember you saying you haven't been training that long, a good solid foundation is very beneficial when you first start out.

Flat Barbell bench 3 sets
Incline Dumbell or Bench 3 sets
Weighted dips 3 sets
Dumbell pullovers 3 sets.
