I never do regular flat barbell bench. Only ever used dumbbells and cable crossover from multiple angles.

You can't refine something that isn't there. You need to build up sheet mass through heavy Flat Benching and Squats before you can use crossovers to sculpt striations in.

Sculpt striations in there... Lol.. Skeletal muscle is also called striated muscle.. The striations are visible when one is lean enough to see them.  You don't sculpt striations in anything.

My bench tends to go down if I squat a lot. When I prioritize the bench and lay off the squats it goes up.

At least you didn't say drink a gallon of milk per day. :P

Incline bench presses are a tool of the devil. You will destroy your ac joint. Flat benches all the way. Yes I also am a proponent of military presses. Dips are bad for the shoulders.

lock yourself in the gym for an hour.   hit the chest with fairly heavy stuff, with 2/3 of it being compounds.  When you're whooped, do isolation stuff until the clock is up.

One hour, 5 times a week.  It's impossible not to grow.  Recovery is a bitch, though.

here's some more solid advice

use any chest pressing machine for a couple of sets

if you want, finish with some push ups

do this once a week and your chest will grow

Don't pull that shit with me. Saying that crossovers "sculpt striations" is almost as bad as high reps for cuts...  ::)
