wide stance press ups
like bench but on the florr but without proper weight training not much use really mate
without a gym i could't really help that much

would have to agree with robin mate, you may develop some muscle from the press ups but it wouldnt even compare with a proper diet, gym and quality equipment.

The single best exercise for the chest would be the bench. 5-6 sets @ 8-12 reps done every 5-7 days.
Next best would be the inclines 5 sets (you are already warmed up) @ 8-12 reps done every 5-7 days.
You can alternate from bench first to inclnes and from bar to dumbbells.

No access to the gym then you can do 5 sets of pushups varying the width of your hands and do them to failure till you cant push yourself up each set. You can also do pushups on some kindof platform under each hand to get a better stretch but this can cause shoulder injury if not carefull.
If you want to totally finish off your chest then do your last set on your knees and do as many as you can to failure.

Bar dips using a chair under each arm and under your legs (like an L) and you can do these for lower chest and tricep work.

But I would go to a gym and lift heavy on the bench and inclines and you will grow. You can also take creatine to help out some.

alright cheers bro... when i do push ups i usually do vary the width range of my arms but it always seems to feel like my arms r gettin worked and not my chest? should i feel the strain on my chest after? ive also been taking anabolic mass but doesnt seem to be helping me to increase size?

robin_3_16 · 05-02-2004, 10:26 PM

you have to go very wide on them, and tense your chest when you do them mate, dumbell flys too are good, but a bench, is needed,
and definately would recommend a gym and a proper diet mate
i did weight at home
but didn't gain properly til i got to the gym!

You can do pushups with your feet on a chair, that will work the upper chest. You can also go and try to bear hug a tree, (That was how I learned to do flys).
Without serious resistance on the muscle you wont get that much gains.
Flexing helps some.

Look in your local paper classified ads you can sometimes buy a bench with weight very cheap.
