Press ups exercise your chest

Take a look here.

There are some you can do with only your body weight and some with weights.

I'm a big fan of working your back with your chest so as they don't look odd so maybe look in to bent over rows to work you lats etc.

imho, if training to add some muscle then you are massively restricted without a bench. Bodyweight exercises will only allow a certain amount of development.

I know I defo need a bench just wondered if I could do anything with out 1

If training for mass, then bodyweight won't be as good as lifting big.

However, if you're training for strength then body weight is good.

Once you've mastered the bodyweight exercises then you can add weights to the exercises.

For chest you will be limited without a bench. But dips could be done between 2 chairs and there are many other ways you can get round the lack of a bench.

Have you got a pull up bar? You could use that too.

standard press ups.
diamond press ups (form a diamond shape by putting both thumbs and index fingers together)
incline/decline press ups (either hands or feet on a bench, seat, box etc.. anything about 1.5 ft high)

Make your pressups harder by putting weights in a bag on your back? When you're fucked, remove the bag and rep a few more. Just an idea.
