Reply With QuoteBest for what? That's not really a valid question. And what kind of option is 'dumbbell'? Do you mean DB Presses of some sort? And why are the Flies and Dips possessive? Do those options mean using the exercises of flies (insects) and dips (morons)?
OK, I'm taking off my Grammar Nazi boots...
If it helps you any, I like using Flies as a finishing exercise. I find that it really destroys my pecs if a I finish off with a dropset of flies. It's really brutal stuff.

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Don't beat yourself up. Proper spelling and grammar are skills. Just keep working at them and you'll do fine. On the Internet, it's not just what you say, but how you say it, that tells others how intelligent you are.
Since you seem to be new to bodybuilding (even newer than myself
), try out every exercise at least a few times. You'll figure out what works, and doesn't, for you.
Heck, yesterday I just tried Yates-style barbell rows for the first time. I wish that I had tried them sooner. They're great!So many cries of inequality stem from one of group

My favorite exercise for the chest is cable crossovers. They totally destroy my pecs and give me a great pump, but I am not gonna say they are the best exercise. They are simply my favorite for chest day.

I voted for flat dumbell press, although a combination of all listed lifts are important.

sceficically regarding hypertrophy, I think dumbell presses are the best. They more accurately mimick the natural movement of the chest, where as the b-bell bench is really more of a tri movement when things are broken down..

LUUUVVVV flies...From every possible angle, following a few heavy pressing sets, flies really are effective for me...

I vote "Other"..............
What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

I prefer heavy flies. Flies shape my pecs like no other exercise. They add roundness, definition and..... jeezuz, sounds like a bra. Never mind.

I like to think I'm sculpting my body--maybe it's BS, but it helps me. Anyway, flies make my pecs round and striated in a manner that flat or incline benching never comes close to. Originally Posted by ihateschoolmt

Why is everyone so into dips for chest? I love dips, but I do them for my tris; my chest doesn't really get anything out of dips.

Where is the 'all of the above' button? There is no one best chest exercise. All of the ones you list are the major chest developers, you left out decline BB and DB.
Now if you said what is your favorite chest exercise, then BB inclines would be mine.The blues had a baby, and they named it Rock and Roll

Dips hurt my shoulders
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
