Good old push ups
-
push ups are magic, you get a better range of motion than doing bench press. That lets you work your shoulders and outsides of your chest (see video below for technical terms!).
My PT swears by them as a way to maintain healthy shoulders - definitely doing the arms tucked in (like a closer grip bench press) and keeping core and glutes locked.
I've never been able to smack out the reps you guys have managed. I'd back myself for mid-20's but not much beyond that.

that is a good bloody effort Rock, I'd love to be able to claim a training effect but think I'm just not great at push ups. We tend to add them in with bench press but rarely do we ever do a push up only workout.
A old uni mate would always start the day with 2-3 sets of push ups and sit ups - I think to failure or something. But he was pretty good at em!!
