Best Chest Builder

[The One]

I prefer throats and decline bench

 

[NoMoreExcuses]

An other one for flat dumbells

 

[Robboe]

weighted dips, flat bench [BB or DB] or slight decline bench [BB or DB].

 

[MJay95]

Decline dumbbells have been proven to recruit the most amount of muscle fibres in the chest

Decline dumbbells have been proven to recruit the most amount of muscle fibres in the chest

That is a pretty bold statement. Would you care to back it up with a source?

I agree these are all great chest exercises, but I would have to say flat barbell bench is the best for putting on mass.

someone's been reading the magazines, I think I remember an article that said something very similiar to that, but it was that inclines recruit the most and declines were second.

Actually the declines recruiting most fibers thing is based on electromyography analysis, which measures electrical activity in the muscle and gives us an idea of what muscles or fibers are working in a given movement. Whether or not they are reliable is up for debate, but it really only makes sense that declines would work the chest the most if you think about it.

Aye, there's the rub, ain't it.
