Not to sound over simple but if it doesn't have press capability, you have to find an alternative. You can get fairly cheap free weights (classifieds are full of barely used cheap weight sets :) ). Resistance bands and tubes are also an alternative. I have no idea which home gym you have but I haven't seen many that did not have a press station.
