to get a bigger chest is it more beneficial to do 3 sets on flat bench press

OR

1 set on flat, and
1 set on incline, and
1 set on decline

I'd go for 3 sets of flat and incline. Then finish off with 3 sets of flys.

Decline is not really needed for chest development.

 

[chan]

so 3 sets on flat and then 3 more sets on incline???

 

[~LV~]

so 3 sets on flat and then 3 more sets on incline???

Yes then finish of with 3 sets of flys. This is all assuming that your diet is in check as well.

 

[chan]

flys are isolation exercises meaning they particularly stress the pecs, whereas benches incorporate your triceps as well. as an alternative, consider doing flys first, so that you perform a pec isolation exercise at the beginning when you're most fresh and energetic. you can also do flys on an incline bench but that sometimes leads to shoulder discomfort for some. finally, I'll do flys using cables.
