Dunno, that's what it was labeled. It was kind of like a dumbbell flye, but the machine was so free ranged I couldn't find the correct motion.

a 'pec deck'?

i'll cut to the chase, if you're serious about hypertrophy you shouldn't use those machines for your core chest workout.  They lock you in postion and prevent you obtaining good form.

Stick to free weights for chest flys, dumbells and cable machine and use the pec deck for warming up.

Naw, it was laying down.

The problem that I have with free weights is I can never work my pecs correctly. I bring my arms to a 180 but it doesn't feel right.

Flat chest press barbell should be just above your chest, never touching, incline chest press should just above the nipples, never touching the chest. Decline chest press should come down below the nipples again never touching the chest.  Think of an imgainary hand on your chest and let the barbell 'touch' that.  There should be two marks on the barbell where you aign your middle finger in order obtain equal weight distribution.

For flys you arms should outsteched but not 180 degress, a slight bend in your elbow will help you to compensate.

yeah, but it wasnt a barbell is the point. It said start in a normal bench position, push upwards and in and come back down without restarting.

As for the fly - yeah i keep my elbow around 150-160 degrees and come just about to a 180, as far as I can tell I'm doing it correctly. But it feels like it's not working my pecs at all, instead somewhere between my shoulder and pecs. It doesnt feel anywhere close to the same as after a bench.

I go 3 days a week - MWF. Typically

Cardio
Back-worky machine (105lb)
Lats (12.5lb, 3 sets of 10 alternating out and to the side)
Dumbbell flye (27.5lb dumbbells)
Abs (crunch/superman/occasionally medicine ball when I can find one)
Cardio

Sometimes the squat machine (should probably do more leg workouts tbh), sometimes lawnmower pull w/ free weights (37.5s).

edit: I'd like to get some more defined abs and a bigger chest. I know part of gaining weight is eating right and I struggle there, tbh. My diet is completely wonky thanks to classes etc
