I only have dumbells with alternative weight plates, and a chair...no bench or barbell.

diet is in check and i only need confirmation that this is a good routine. 3x10 set-reps. Can i add anthing else?

I dont really want to gain serious muscle, just tighten everything up. This program is comeback into weight training from months of cardio

I also have 2 cardio days as i have some and Chest fat.

Can i do Bench press on the floor? haha

Thanks for any help, all i really need is suggestions on the actual program!

same set up as a push up except that you position your hands so that your index fingers and thumbs are touching which will make a diamond shape...your hands should start straight below under your chin

just make sure that when you lower down, your elbows go directly out to the side not back behind towards your hips

you may need to do these from your knees at first

handstand push ups are exactly that, do a handstand with your feet pointing up to the roof and push up and down like an upside down shoulder press
