    T.U.T (Time under tension)

    If you only had a barbell and plates

    If you only had a barbell and bumper plates how would you train your chest? I know every other body part is doable, even squats could be done if you cleaned the weight up and did front squats. But without a bench how would you train chest? I ask because this may become a reality for me this...
