Well since like a year or more I've been doing Bending chest a lot I started when I had some problems and I was unable to go to the gym, and I started with just 10 everyday and know I do 40 everyday, well almost everyday, but the problem is that I have noticed that Bending chest is just for the lower part of the chest so you can imagine the problem that i have, I havent trained my upper chest part for a long time, for that reason i was wondering if someone could help me out with an exercise for the upper part of the chest but without Weights using nothing but my body, is because I dont have them and right now I cant afford a couple of them,

Chest training
- Thread starter fleon
- Start date
Train your whole body, you'll be wayy out of proportion the older you get only doing one muscle group.
I agree with Curtis,
And to answer your question, in order to hit the upper chest hard,
do:
Incline Barbell Bench Press
Incline Dumbell Bench Press
Really good exercises for the upper chest
And of course follow a proper diet.

In my opinion, the "Basic Drive" to build overall body mass is building the legs and developing a full body workout plan. You want size? Then develop a sound diet structure with a leg development core surrounded by a good sound full body workout plan. Legs will provide the drive, the diet the catalyst, and the FBW the circumference.
There is no shortage of quality information about chest development at your finger tips.

Our bodies do not stop working, even when we are sleeping; our hearts are beating, blood is circulating, lungs are functioning, brains are even working.
This all takes energy — meaning we are still burning calories. The calories burned per hour while sleeping will depend on age, gender, hgt, and wgt of the person, but can range somewhere between 60 to 85 calories per hour (again dependent upon personal particulars-this can be even higher)
In my humble opinion, calories eaten at night won't change your metabolism or "magically count more" than calories eaten during the day.
A healthy person’s total energy intake over 24 hour period should be the focus, not one meal or the time of day they eat (outside of pre and post workout meals).
Additionally, it is a simple equation: energy in and energy out. If you are eating more energy than you’ve expended during the day, then you will put on weight regardless of what you have or have not eaten (and number of meals eaten in one day wont matter either).
This is the "basic" truth and I am not factoring in complications that can come with long term deficit dieters with lowering already low body fat or ones with low body fat which can lead to some weight loss plateaus dependent on personal particulars and previous history (diet and training).
If you want to gain weight worry more about your "total calorie intake within a 24 hour day" and the "stimulus to bring good tissue gain", and tweak your calories in versus your calories out and/or your FBW--according to bodily feed back, and will be on your positive way.

If you're looking for an exercise that doesn't involve the use of weights, I recommend the tried and true push-up. Since you're looking for an "incline" effect to target the upper fibers of your chest muscles, place the toes of your feet on an object raised off the ground. A great tool for that, so long as it won't fall over, is a chair. Also good is a couch, because the cushions provide an unstable surface, which makes the supporting musculature work harder during the exercise.
To add weight, get a book back that has a waist strap as well, load it up with stuff and push away.
But like everyone is saying, you need to also need to get some leg work in, so if you don't have access to weights or a gym, lunges with a filled pack is always good for a leg workout.

Absolutely right, the push-up is a great chest development exercise, but it is also a pretty good triceps development exercise. Hands spread apart develops chest more, hands close together develops tri’s more. Do both inclined and regular push-ups. Vary the speed of the push-ups also, do as many as you can in a minute (or two) then take a short break (20 to 40 seconds) and do it again. On different days do slow push-ups, go down slowly, hold for 5 to 10 seconds and then go up slowly. The combination of these two different applications of the push-up along with combining them with inclined and regular foot position and different hand positions you should get some good workouts. One other thing you can try is what I was taught as the “crash and burn” it’s simply holding your chest 1 to 2 inches off the ground in the push-up position for as long as you can. Good luck.
thanks a lot for all your answers but before reading them all, i wanna add something this is my everyday training in my house, I do 50 push ups, or bending chest that was google translator tell me when i wrote "flexiones de pecho", then I do 50 normal Abdominals for the upper part of my abdomen , then i do 50 abdominals but raising my legs you know for the lower part of my abdomen, then I do 100 for my lateral abdomen I do it standing myself up and moving all my body to right/down and then to the left/down exept my legs that remind intact, and i do 100 for also lateral abdomen I think, because i move myself right and left but working my waist, and last I do 50 squats holding my hands like praying, all I do it in intervals of 10 resting just 2 minutes per interval, exept the two exercises where i do 100, that ones i just do them without resting.
