OMG! Not to be rude, but you need some serious education. Read the stickies at the top of the training page and re-read till it sticks. Also, check out some sites with a list of exercises and perhaps some basic anatomy. Good luck, your gonna need it!

pectoralis major is one of several muscles that get worked when bench pressing.

an form of horizontal press will work that muscle.

I think the chest does get some work in while doing barbell curls, especially if you focus on keeping the elbows tight.

It might, but i doubt its as effective.

Looking at the human body, it is often times said that it is a kinetic chain. everything is linked. When you do anything (as I have said before) you are never in 'true' isolation. Lots of muscles are called on to be stabilizers, neutralizers, synergists, agonstist, antagonists, etc.....The question here is does the bicep curl work the chest musculature. No, concentrically (as an agonist) it does not work the chest.

If the chest was worked during the bicep curl....it would be the death of conventional weightlifting....

Not even as a stabalizer. That would mostly be your delts, and your traps, I think...
