Horizontal adduction (drawing the arm across the body) is the only movement that involves the entire pectoralis major, but when you're holding a barbell you're locked into a limited amount of horizontal adduction, which means that your upper arm is limited in how much it can move towards the midline of your body.
The majority of studies seem to support the claim that the dumbbell bench press is a better option for anyone looking to increase his chest size, mainly because of the greater range of motion involved — a greater range of motion on pressing movements means more horizontal flexion and adduction and a greater recruitment of chest muscle fibers.
Being close to the deltoid muscle, the clavicular head significantly contributes to flexion, horizontal adduction and inward rotation of the humerus, and is best engaged with exercises which involve shoulder flexion and movements that end with your elbows above your clavicle.
Dips primarily involve flexion of the shoulder and extension of the elbow (rather than adduction of the humerus), meaning that they mostly hit the front of the shoulders and the triceps rather than the pecs.
Frontal plane exercises such as jumping jacks, lateral lunges, and military presses, involve abduction and adduction.
In general, it seems that compound exercises that involve carrying an external load with a flexed trunk (as in deadlift or bent - over row), shoulder adduction or shoulder extension (as in horizontal rows, pull - ups and lat pull - downs) all produce very high trapezius muscle activity.
Although both pectoralis major parts are involved in shoulder horizontal adduction (bringing the hands in front of the body from the sides), only the clavicular head also flexes the shoulder (raising the arms in front of the body from the sides) and internally rotates the shoulder (Barberini, 2013).
Shoulder adduction involves bringing them back down again.
As you can see from the pictures above, the flat bench press involves a larger shoulder horizontal adduction angle than the incline bench press.
Single - joint exercises involving shoulder horizontal adduction also produce high levels of pectoralis major activation.
Key shoulder movements that involve the pectoralis major include shoulder horizontal adduction (moving the arms together in the transverse plane at shoulder height), shoulder adduction (moving the arms down to the sides, from shoulder height), shoulder scapular flexion or extension (moving the arms to or from shoulder height in the scapular plane in front of the body), and shoulder flexion or extension (moving the arms to or from shoulder height in front of the body).
Shoulder horizontal adduction (also called shoulder horizontal flexion) involves bringing the arms together in front of the body at shoulder height, as shown in the picture below.
During rehabilitation exercises involving hip adduction, the adductors may be preferentially activated at different degrees of hip flexion.
