Hammer strength bench press

[Ajainwa]

Hey guys,

Got sent to training where they only have limited equipment. No machines. I've been using the hammer strength straight bench press machine for one of my movements in my blast. I'm out here for a week and wondering what would be a good alternative to that for this week. Any ideas? My other two chest exercises are incline BB bench press and decline BB bench press.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe just substitute in Dumbbell bench presses for the week?

Dips? Weighted push-ups? Low incline bench?

I have dips for my tricep movement. Dumbbell bench was what I was thinking. Weighted pushups is a great idea. Thanks guys! Appreciate the help. What would be the RP scheme for weighted pushups? I know for any dumbbell movement it's higher like 20-30RP.

When you say low incline bench how low you talking? One notch above flat bench? Does it work a much different area than incline?

Anyone or all of these movements would work...that were mentioned in this thread. Just make sure you can get progressive with it and that you will be able to continue the same type exercise when you get back.

I'd say carry on with the new exercise and drop the hammer when you get back (pun intended) lol.
Good luck
