Press ups do increase chest muscle. When you're doing then it uses your pecks and the muscle above them.
Chest
if you mean bench press, then that is deltoids, triceps, and pectorals (or chest)
lots of reps. of push ups everyday, chest press machine, or bench press would work too..... for push ups at least 20-30 (or more, depends how many you can do) of them everyday and then increase the number when you feel comfortable..... chest press and bench press are up to you when determining the weight and reps.
your doing the right exercises but you should only work those chest muscles twice a week and you want to lift heavy weight to promote muscle growth.
Primarily the lower chest muscles
pecs triceps anterior delts
Power press works your upper back and your traps.
Mowing the lawn works triceps and your chest.
chest and shoulders.
triceps, shoulders
If you could do just one chest exercise to carve out a set of pecs that you see on the statue of a Greek god, the Hulk or a mythological beast, it would be chest dips. Not the bench press, not pushups, and certainly not dumbbell flys. Chest dips work the entire upper body and really give you that hormonal boost you need to grow muscle, tone your chest, and lose those "man boobs." They work your arms, your shoulders, your chest, and your upper back.
