Question by Poooo D: How can I get a good chest workout at home?
I want to do a good chest workout at home. I usually use freeweights, but I dont have those at home. I have a benchpress, but I don’t like to use to much weight because I dont have a spotter. What should I do to substitute those freeweight excercises, and what can I do with a benchpress, with less weight that I usually would use to do a regular bench press.

Pushup Pyramids.
These are a favorite among myself and my fellow Soldiers. They hurt, trust me! I wasn’t a believer until I tried it.
Basically you do one push up, and then come to your knees and do one military press (raising your arms about your head as if to “raise the roof”)… continue to 2 push ups, 2 presses, and so on and so forth up to 10, and then back down. Sounds easy enough, but it will kick your butt! The key is to not rest… even if it means going to your knees and doing “female” pushups.
You can also make the addition of weights to the military press part for extra umph.
