Thread: Chest exercises with limited weights?

Apart from increasing reps to >30, which would be inconvenient for me as I only have a limited time to workout, are there any chest exercises I can do that utilise this limited weight in a different way? Appreciate the help

Pseudo-planche pushups. You won’t run out of resistance with these.

Alternatively, do assisted one-arm pushups with one hand assisting with balance. Once you get stronger you can elevate the assisting hand and/or add weight in a backpack. When you can do 8-12 reps with 20 kg added and just a little balance support from the inactive hand you’ll be quite strong. But you will eventually run out of resistance.

Do flyes first

Then try pushups

Then put your feet up on a chair and do push-ups for the upper chest
