When building muscle, its best to work all muscle groups. But a lot of times coaches are biased on how much you can bench... Bench pressing can screw up your joints in your shoulders, so do all kinds of workouts for all muscle groups.
It's an auxiliary muscle. For example, if you are doing squats, your hamstrings are an auxiliary muscle group; they work together with your quads and buttocks, which are the primary muscles being worked. .
Yes. Bench press is one of the best chest workouts. There are 3 variations of the workout.Flat bench pressIncline bench pressDecline bench pressEach has a specific effect on different part of your chest and can give you great results on your chest muscle development.

The muscles that are affected by this work out are mainly your pectorals and deltoids, but also to a less degree, forearms and triceps. This exercise also helps with your latimus dorsi (lats). There are also back muscles involved that will be strengthened.
The popular Bench Press method works, the Pectoral (Pecks) Muscles (Bottom and top), as well as the Shoulder and the third Triceps Muscle.
The bench press has two phases: eccentric and concentric. The first phase, as you lower weight toward your chest, is called the eccentric, or muscle-lengthening motion. The second phase, as you raise the weight back up, is called the concentric, or muscle-shortening phase. It is during the concentric phase that you can feel your chest getting tight. Learning which muscles are used during the concentric phase of the bench press is beneficial for focusing your mind on the correct area and therefore improving your exercise technique.The primary concentric mover of the bench press is the pectoralis major, which you may better know as the chest. Depending on which version of the bench press you are doing, you will be recruiting a specific part of the muscle group. The regular bench press on a flat surface mainly works your middle pecs. The incline and decline versions mainly work your upper and lower pecs, respectively.
