Sorry, there are neither perfect pec exercises nor regiments. Genetics will dictate the shape. A good bulking phase will put on the muscle and a good cutting phase will bring out definition.

Butterfly?

DB Chest Press progressing to one arm at a time. Incline chest press as well or even some dips.

Incline dumbbell...they are the all mighty god of chest in my opinion...haha. BUT, you need to do all variations of bench to make sure you activate as much muscle as possible

My personal chest routine involves the following:

Dips x 3
Incline Dumbell Press x 3
Barbell Flyes x 3
Cable Crossovers x 3
Bench Press x 3

Its still a work in progress but this seems to be a good spread of exercises

cusimar9...that seems like over training to me. 3 or 4 exercises x3 sets each should be PLENTY to tear down your muscle for hypertrophy. Also, your presses should be at the beginning. Try this
Dips or pushups (1 set of 10-15 as a warmup)
Incline DB press 3x8-10
Flat Bench 3x8-10
Cable crossovers OR DB Flies 3x8-10 (Edit: thanks for catching that Fly)
Unless you have been training for quite a while, that should be enough to spark some growth. Remember, even if you are not sore the next day, that does NOT mean you didn't get a good workout.

As stated above, you need to diversify your chest workout, add something, anything with dumbells, they work all those stabilizer muscles that barbell presses neglect. The best way to train for bigger pecs are always going to be compound movements like presses, fly's are not a bad exercise, but they work better as a burnout set at the end of a workout or a light set to warmup your chest.

Do you think so? I do 2-4 exercises on everything else, I've just added something else to my chest routine to make sure I'm hitting it properly.

It can't do any harm doing 5 sets, surely? I'm leaving it a full 48 hours before doing chest again...
