Because I started working out in my basement now that I have weights.... I obviously dont have all the stuff at gyms so my workout is somewhat limited. No machines, only bar,bench and weights. Considering chest day- i do 5x5 bench, 3x10 incline, and thats about it besides push ups, what could i do on top of that? The bench doesnt go down to decline(i never really do decline anyways) but is there anything else?

You could put a couple plate under the back end of the bench. Then you have a decline.

youd have to see my bench to understand....

try a Depth pushups. get plates next to you and your bench. Put your feet on the bench and hands on the floor. push up hard and lift your hands off the floor like your doing a clap push up but instead of clapping, you can clap if it makes you happy , put your hands on the plates and do a deep push up, then do a push up and go back down. The second pushup will give you a wider hand spread and force you to go down a little deeper.

also, another plyometric push up I've been toying with..
do a push up as hard as you can so to lift yourself off the grownd and swing your arms and clap behind you and back down before you face plant on the ground. Try these with a pillow by your head first and then when your more confident, go for it.

Just offering suggestions.

Doesn't your bench touch the floor? j/k

lol

Floor presses

Yeah floor presses are cool but you kinda need something to rack the weight.

Axle stands! You can buy a 1ton set of axle stands from wal-mart or any place with a half-assed automotive section for a low-price. Set one on each side and there ya go, a redneck bench press

Only works if you floor press less than 2 tonnes though
