I was reading this article
https://www.t-nation.com/training/inside-the-muscles-best-chest-and-triceps-exercises
and I was surprised at how effective dips and weighted dips seem to be for ALL of the chest.
I mean, yeah, they're supposed to be good for the lower chest, but according to this they're even better than bench for the upper chest.
Is this right or is it just a ball of nonsense?

It depends how you do them.

Both bench and dips are shitty chest builders. You might as well compare the effectiveness of yoga and zumba at building delts.

bench press, incline bench press (db, and bar), and various pushups and isometric bodyweight. worked for me, and easy to vary.

From my experience any form of chest fly is great for pecs. Cables are probably best because you have good resistance across all ROM. DB are good too. Don't diss the pec deck, it's still better than bench

dips form masculine, strong pecs. Flys give you ridiculous disproportionate gorilla tits

What about archer dips? Disproportionate masculine gorilla strong pec tits?

I didn't read the article, but a good rule of thumb is that an article of t-nation is a load of horseshit

They hurt my sternum due to an injury when I was younger and very uncomfortable for my shoulders.
Flat BB bench, flat DB bench, unilateral DB bench, floor press, weighted pushups are good enough.

not true, it's just really hit or miss. there are many great articles there, e.g. Rip's article about the Texas Method

K so flyes for pecs. What about upper chest? My pecs are over developing relative to my upper chest and they kinda look like titties
