Chest exercises
Im looking for some exercises that i can do at home with a set of free weights which will target my chest. I don't have a bench of any sort to lie down on. Would laying on the floor and doing bench press work? Seems like a bad idea due to the lack of full range of motion. or are push ups my only option? Thanks!
