Chest

[yungahdubz]

Which exercises should i do for my chest, floor press with a dumbbell or weighted press up?

I don't, as of yet, have a bench so my only option is either of the two as gym is out of the question.

you'll obviously get better results if you bench rather than press up, but as you cant get your arms behind your back when lying on the floor, so you wont get as good results with the floor press.

So which one would be better, floor press or weighted press up?

Weighted pressups. Floor press is more of a lockout/bench assistance movement for strengthening the latter part of the bench press, i.e. triceps et al, with a bit of chest. Try weighted pressups

Cheers mate, I'm on Stronglifts 5x5 at the moment ,5 sets and 5 reps on exercises, been on it for 3 months. On the bodyweight exercises in the routine it says to do 3 sets till failure (chin up/pull ups + dips) so should i follow that?

Also, will putting my arms out wider make the exercise hit my chest more?
