For Incline presses - like neiltilley suggests - a bench, set to its lowest level of incline and some dumbbells. If there is no incline bench, prop one end of the bench up on some 45's, make sure it is stable, and use that. If you have a cable stand, do cable crossovers, straight and decline. Do standing dumbbell or barbell curls, that will be very similar. Cables offer you resistance both directions, so if you are using free weights focus on lowering the weight slowly and feeling the resistance both directions. Hope that helps! -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.
