Bench press works your chest primarily but it also works triceps as a 2ndary mucels If you do higher reps with lower weight you will tone your chest and triceps If you do lower reps with more weight you will build your muscles bigger.

Is working chest out the day after working out shoulders bad?

I have also been confronted with this dilemma. I belive that it is not ideal to workout chest after working out shoulders because your shoulders definetely assist in bench pressing. If your shoulders are sore/weak from the previous days workout, then they could hinder you from putting up as much weight on the bench as normal. Thus your chest will not get a hard workout because your shoulders will give out before your chest. So, I would say work out chest first then shoulders. Although your shoulders might be slightly worn from assisting in the bench pressing, they will still have a lot left to get a good workout in. Also, then they will have been worked out extremely hard.
