Question =)

Hey guys, i have a question...

Ok, sometimes i dont get the chance to go to the gym, but, i never fail to workout..
I have an ez bar with some weights and dumbells...
So i never really had problem in training when i can't go to the gym...

The only muscle i have problem with is chest. Reason being, i dont have a bench at home :(

So, ive been cracking my head trying to figure out how to train. And i came up with this.

BACKPACK PUSHUPS

Ok, so basically i stuff a small backpack with towels and add my weights (from my ez bar and dumbells) into the backpack. The reason why i add towels is to allow the weight to rest on my upper back rather than letting it fall towards the bottom of the backpack..

Then i just do my incline, flat and decline pushups, increasing the weights after each set.

My question is, is this effective??

ofcourse , adding resistance

Hey, ok i posted my question wrong...

What i meant is that, would it be as effective as dumbell presses?

no, because dumbbells are

no, because dumbbells are independent movements, this would be closer to a light bench press.

yeh , Jdazzle is right ;)

yeh , Jdazzle is right ;) nothing beats dumbbells in my opinion ;) raj come on m8 how skint(poor, no money) can you be not to afford a wee bench , you can get YORK ones and WEIDER ones for like $20 !!! i highly highly seriously recomend you invest in a bench , preferably one with incline and decline ;)
