Do you do any squeezing exercises? Like flyes and cable crossovers? They're arguably even more important than presses for hypertrophy.

i was doing all sorts of elaborate workkout routines and shit for years but now im just doing pushups, pullups, chinups, dips, shoulder preess, and assorted calisthenics exercise. Ironically since changing to this barebones routine my strength is much better than its ever been. I couldnt even do 150lb one rep bench before

That's your problem. Throw in isolation work for pecs. You should go for 50/50 iso/compound if you're trying to bring out that muscle.

what does iso and compound mean

Isolation exercises are those that (in theory) isolate a certain muscle group. A bicep curl e.g. aims to target the biceps. Compound movements involve two or more muscle groups at once; e.g. bench press involves chest, triceps and shoulders.
