Is there anyway to build chest muscle without getting your arms big?

'Pec deck': This is the idea behind the 'pec deck' (illustration). It concentrates the work on the pectoralis major, sparing shoulders and arms.

Exercise...: Do exercises that are meant to increase the size and strength of the pectoral muscles (both pectoralis major and minor). This will enlarge the muscles of the chest much more so than the arms.
