Ranking 20 chest exercises on a tier list based on the latest science. This is how you should interpret my tier list:

All exercises are ranked based on muscle building potential.

S tier My favorite. Do them if you can.
A tier Strongly recommend.
B tier I still do these in certain contexts. There may be better options.
C tier There are better options for most people. Can still have value in some contexts.
D tier Probably not a great option for most people.
