Low incline (30-35degrees)
"normal" incline (45 degrees)

A 45 degree incline to me is almost like a shoulder press. All I feel are shoulders. So that one.

Dips.

Sorry I'm a jackass, i left out the third question.
Which of those movements used the shoulders the least.

decline db imo, outer = bottom end of anything full range wider than shoulder grip. i prob feel most with incline flys

1. Generally the rule is, the more incline you have the more shoulders you use.

2. Lower pecs are best done with dips, although to be honest, you should just stick to flat, its is more then enough. Just an opinion.

- Also you can't train your outer pecs or your inner pecs specifically as you can't train just part of a muscle fibre, and the muscle fibres in your chest stretch horizontally from your sternum to just under your armpit.

You can target your upper or lower chest, which should pretty much achieve the same result anyway.

3. I'll throw a guess out and say decline, but I am not sure on this one.

Lower pecs are prob best to do dips like they said, But then again i just love dips for all parts of my chest!
