Good pec routine for mass

Could someone tell me a good routine for pec mass. Since you can't target the upper or lower pec then it seems to me that flat bench or flat dumbell press would be the best exercises. Incline would seem to incorporate the shoulders more and declines would incorporate the tris more than flat. If this is the case, please let me know a good number of sets and reps for mass and how many times per week to work pecs. Thanks for any input.

You should incorporate flat, incline and decline, including barbell and dumbell presses and flyes.
Although you cannot target any one region you still want to hit the pecs from all angles.
Rep range should go any where from 4-12, sets I would say around 8, but can and will vary.
There is no set number for sets an reps though, I use many different sets and reps each work-out. I train pecs one time per week.

Also when doing incline try doing DB presses on an adjustable bench. You need to be at 45deg or LOWER to not incorporate the shoulder muscles too much. The BB bench(incline) at my gym seems to be at a higher angle than 45deg.

Personally, I don't do decline- I do love incline bench flyes-
those are by far my favorites- way better than press in my opinion.
I also do flat press with either dumbells or barbell, whichever is available
