DB presses to BB bench

do them on the same day you do the rest of your back.
The only way to use free weights..is to hang upside down like a bat..so..no..

Man,

Here are people that say "bench WITHOUT spotter" - dont believe them. If at all the bar slips and falls on your chest, you could be dead.

Flys can be easily done. I do them lying on the floor instead on the bench. Lying on the floor stops your upper arms going too low and hurting your shoulder joint.

Flys, push ups should do what bench can do quite well.

Alot of us bench w/out a spotter.
Your thumb will keep that bar from slipping.
I do it all the time, I just can't go as heavy.

I do one rep maxes without a spotter. I just leave the clips off the end of the bar so I can dump the weight if necessary. I even do squats without a spotter. On occasion, I just have to dump the weight. It's extremely noisy, but it gets the job done.
