This will kill you, so 9/10, I guess.
Wear a wrinkley shirt and get two birds stoned at once
My brother gave me his old barbell, it's not that heavy (50lbs) but it's ok for a begginer, can i do bench press just by laying on the floor or does it have to be elevated? i can still make the bar touch my pecs

rest the bar across two low chairs.
>>36497517
why not, but get yourself a bench soon.. ~60€
Spotters really shouldn't be necessary in this dage and age
Someone should design a 'bench from the' ground bar
>>36497791
you can do floor presses, but that's more of thing experinced powerlifters use. I'd use chairs like th other person said for now.
Jesus anon just do push ups.
what can i do to exersize my chest if i dont have the space for a bench and i cant do pushups due to a wrist injury
pls respond

If it's only 50 pounds, you shouldn't have any trouble placing it down on the floor above your head. That amount of weight probably isn't going to do much for you, though, beginner or not.

Juat bench off the flat floor man. I forget why but some bodybuilders do it for some reason wish i could remember look it up.

Do pushups with straight wrists
>>36498238
Stop being a little bitch and push up on your knuckles.
Or join a gym like a normal person.
>>36498238
buy some decent wrist wraps and some dumbells. DB press is better for chest hypertrophy aka size increase. no need for a bench just do them off the ground
>>36497791
It's not bench press without a bench...
>>36498254
I can up the weight to around 75lbs, i mean it's better than nothing right?
>>36497517
Can you clean and press on it?

don't listen to all those ppl telling you to use chairs. It's a one way ticket to snap city if something goes wrong (and it something WILL go wrong unless you stop exercising after a week or so)
look into floor presses. They are considered more advanced but they aren't that hard just different.
Try not to fuck up your wrist with the horrible 'bar' you're using.
Also don't forget about lunges, hip thrusts, ohp, and row.

are you an arab?
>>36497791
how can the bar touch your chest while laying on the floor? are your hands connected directly to your shoulders?
