The dumbbell bench press is one of my favorite exercises. I like it more than the classic barbell version. However recently I was in a situation when I wasn't able to go to the gym. That's why I had to come up with a pushing workout at home. I have dumbbells at home but they are too light and I like to trow them on floor after dumbbell bench presses. I certainly wouldn't do that the wooden floor of my training room so I had to come up with a solution - ring push-ups. The ring push-ups offer the same element of instability like dumbbells. Also they eliminate the racking and unracking of the weights which is rather hard when you use dumbbells. The ring push-up is harder than the regular and also allows your to squeeze the handles at the top like a dumbbell bench press or fly.
Did I like the exercise? Wow. Ring push-ups are not also a super-sweet exercises but I will even use them instead of dumbbell bench presses from now on. If you find yourself in a situation when you are tired from the regular dumbbell presses you can trow in some ring push-ups. They are great. Use weight or try ring dips if you are too strong for them.
