What exercise should I do for my chest since I can't do push-ups?

[ElvinBarton]

I can't do push-ups because of my elbow. My right elbow snaps every time I try to do any heavy push movements (push-ups, bench press). it snaps in my elbow, and it feels like someone has put a hot butter knife there.

Now, since I can't do any push-up and, I have been gaining some fat on my chest.

I know it was not good, but didn't realize how bad it was till I put on a T-shirt and looked in the mirror before going out today. It has come to a point where a 34A cup sized bra would fit on me perfectly.

And I look so weird right now, I have been doing planks and ab crunch. So I have slightly visible pack-lines on my belly, and these breasts on my chest.

What exercise can I do to burn fats off my chest, other than push-ups and bench press ?

Dips and weighted dips

if your having trouble (with man tits i assume?) then exercise isn’t going to help that, you need to lose weight if it’s chest fat or get gyno surgery if it’s breast tissue.

you should also go to a doctor if your elbow doesn’t let you do pushups, instead of trying to find an alternative exercise, that doesn’t sound normal.

With Bad elbows maybe you can't do any Pushing exercise at all. Dips or floor press is more ideal obvsly, but maybe all you can do is butterflies (shouldn't put any stress on your elbows I think).
Also, go to a doctor and try to fix your elbows

I have gotten my elbows checked by an orthopedic doctor. Short ligaments on my right triceps and forearms was the problem, he said. And can't be fixed.

I talked to a coach in a nearby gym. he said, I should do those exercise, except not do the full range of motion. By I don't have the courage to try something like bench press, which my hand can't handle.

Testosterone is known for lengthening ligaments.

Thanks for this info. I didn't know that.

I should focus on increasing my Testosterone then,

push ups are shit

 

[kalefartbomb]

Just do any chest exercise that doesn't involve elbow flexion, so flyes. Cable flyes or pec deck would be best.

my left elbow does the same thing but it doesnt hurt
