If you want to build a massive chest you have to use heavy weights but you also have to make sure you feel the muscle in every rep. In other words, go heavy, but don't max out on every set. Look in any gym and you'll see the flat benches taken up. This is especially true on Monday which seems to be international chest day in most every gym. You should also focus just as much on incline movements for upper chest development as this is a common area that many lack.
This is a great starting point for a solid chest workout. But it's also good to use if you're short on time or if you're taking a break from extremely intense workouts.
