I have that new irongym door bar thing, and its working great with my arms, but i really need a workout for my upper chest, to build the muscle and make it bigger. anyone have any ideas?
use the irongym bar for deep pushups… you should be able to lay it on the ground and grasp the handles. If I’m thinking of the correct model, your grasp will be about 4-5 inches off the floor which allows you to lower your chest below your grasp. If it doesn’t, then nothing really beats a good old fashioned push up.
You can also put the irongym in the middle of your door, grasp the handles (overhand grasp) with your legs straight out in front of the bar and lower yourself to the ground – your body position should be like that of a ramp almost. Them pull yourself toward the bar… this will help with the chest muscles.

My main concern is muscle gain, when it’s my day to work chest I usually stick to incline, flat and decline bench, along with the cross pulley.
However, if I’m working out alone I can not use the bench, so I must use machines to work out my chest safely. Do machines not create as good of a workout? How can I maximize my chest workout with machines, considering my main goal is muscle gain?
The pulleys on machines do half of the work for you so it givesw you less results in a longer period of time. Even if you have to ask a trainer or a stranger at the gym to spot you its better than to use machines, machines are only good for people who are just getting into exercise.
