Chest exercises with limited weights?

[throwaway2876]

Hello,

I want to focus on my chest more but I only workout at home - I only have enough weights to make dumbbells up to 20kg. I have progressed enough so that traditional exercises with these dumbbells aren't challenging anymore so progress is stalling. 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

Flys

Get someone to balance plates on your back while you do pushups.

Or get more weight if you are serious about your goals.

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

Decline deficit pushups

This might sound stupid, but try doing pushups with your mattress on your back, if you have enough floor space to try that.
