It's not bullshit, it becomes good to feel when you've got a few months of experience. But ye, newbies can't feel them - you barely use your pec in day to day activities so it's hard to contract them separately from your triceps + shoulders starting out. I wasn't able to feel mine on the bench until 1 pl8. It helps a bit going wider or switching up exercises (dbs and flies are a lot more noticeable)
Do >ring pushups >ring dips >db flye-presses
Guaranteed to feel your chest on these if you use good technique
Terrible idea, this would make your front delts and triceps give out first. If anything he should do flyes or something beforehand so that his chest gives out before the other prime movers on bench
move your hands a few inches out when you're doing your pushups and instead of pushing against the ground think of trying to pull your hands in towards each other, feel the stretch in your chest

Look up deficit pushups. You're obligated to pass this info on.

So to start, you'd normally have your hands in a straight position, try facing your fingers together.

Practice all 3 different types of cable flies at low weight until you can feel your chest being activated with each rep, then just do those instead
