No Weights Chest Workout

Let me go ahead and start this article by saying I don't really care for single body part workouts, or body part splits. Chest monday, back tues, leg day, arm day, etc. I tend to prefer and favor total body workouts 
I just believe that the body is designed to work as a whole and I prefer compound movements where several parts work together, but, I know a lot of folks prefer to have a chest day, or back day, or leg day, or maybe they just want to bring up a lagging part of their physique. And you know what? That's perfectly ok. To each his own. 
     That being said, here's a great chest workout you can do at home with only your body weight and a resistance band.(cheap, very versatile piece of equipment. A couple of those and a pull up bar and the possibilities are endless;))
So here it is:
Perform twice a week with 2 days rest after

Resistance band chest fly on knees 3 sets of 8 reps
Plyometric push up 3 sets of 5 reps
Triangle/uneven pushup 3 sets of 5 each side

Check out the video link here for a demonstration: Batman Fitness chest workout on YouTube

Remember, use great form, focus, and on the band flyes, DEFINITELY find a sturdy anchor point with a low center of gravity, like a couch leg or bed post. 
Enjoy!
