I would use a barbell but I don't have a spotter. Do I really need a spotter? I don't know if I'd be able to give it my all without feeling safe.
Cheers!

I like the other poster's advice on dips--try using your own body weight with dips and push-ups. You will need a spotter to do barbell bench press. But I honestly think bench press is a little overrated (yes, some will consider that blasphemy). Work on dips, push-ups and military press for now since you have no spotter.
