Chest excercises.other than benchpress?

What are some of the most effective chest workouts, other than benchpress, pushups??... i dont have a benchpress at home.
Answer:
Dips and flyes.However, it sounds like you are working out at home, not in a gym, without any equipment. Is that true?Do you at least have a flat bench and some dumbbells? You can do flyes with that, as well as dumbbell presses.If you can adjust the bench to make it at an incline, you can also add incline flyes and incline dumbbell presses to your routine.You can also do push ups, but have your feet up on a bench (or chair) and put your hands on two separate chairs (or stools) so when you go down, your chest can sink down between the two chairs.Here is a link to a book I highly recommend. I have been working out for ~16 years and have referred to this book often:
http://www.amazon.com/getting-stronger-w...Lots of great tips, excercises and workout programs, including diagrams showing each exercise. There are sections for each body part with different exercises for each. A great resource.
Ive never heard of anyone trying to get gains by doing flyes but they are a excellent refining exercise. ---you can easily mess up your shoulder. be careful if you try them For general SIZE increase in the chest ; inclines. hope this helps.
Check out this website:http://www.bodybuilding.comUnder the supersite section they have a page on workouts and exercises. You can pull up specific muscle groups and what types of equipment you want to use.
