Saw this home chest routine on youtube and was wondering if it would work?

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nQAh7m4xsMo

Obviously the chest muscles are being brought into play with the press-up's but are they with the fly's and the press?? Id of though the tri's were mostly being used in the press!?

What are peoples views? give it a go or give it a miss??

Some points....

I'm sure you'd get a sore chest if you're not used to this kind of workout but...

1. The number of press-ups he does will tire the chest but you're not using any weight.

2. Flys work the chest but not as well as using a bench where you get more range of motion.

3. Pressing from the floor is more of a tricep movement and not much point unless used as a specific tricep exercise

I wouldn't rate it for mass building. But maybe for general fitness but I'm sure there are better routines.

What's your current routine ?

I'm going to watch his other routines see what he recommends....
