What are the best exercises to do to build pecs?

Are bar bell excercises better than bench presses?

Bench, Incline, Decline, Cables and use barbells to get an extra stretch. The closer you have your hands in these exercises the more you are working the inner part of your chest.

best way to build up mass on your chest, and anywhere for that matter is to bust your fuckin ass in the gym....

do build mass, do 6 sets with adequate resting inbetween each, with barbell.. on flat and incline... then do dumbell flies either on flat or incline, and then do cables, from the top or the bottom.

so as an example:

chest week 1
-flat bar, 6 sets, 12x, 10x, 7x, 4x, 6x, 8x (pyramiding up, then down)
-incline bar, (same thing)
-dumbell flies on flat (roughly same thing, except more reps on the 3rd 4th and 5th set)
-cables w/ handles on the bottom 4 sets

chest week 2
-flat dumbell press, same pyramiding scheme
-incline dumbell press, same pyramiding scheme
dumbell flies
-cables w/ handles on top.

thats generally what i do... every so often i'll throw in decline.

and then most importantly, is what you eat... all about protein.. .need lots of chicken, tuna, eggs, etc etc.

Also try reverse incline flies, they give you a nice stretch and I think they work a bit better than plain old flat flies. I use the bar but also work in a few free weights every now and then because you end up using more stabilizer muscles than with just the bar.

And after you've built up a bit also hit a few of the machines, they aren't all that bad, just that the bar is better, but after doing the bar and free weights get on a machine and really kill em.

You mean use dumbbells to get an extra stretch, don't you?
