I'm late to this conversation so I'll just have to second the cable presses, and/or the sled presses.

I'll get voted off the Island for this...but if you want to bench I really like DB press on a small physio ball. In Check-esque fashion 1 arm benching on said physio ball is nayestay.

I'm slow.
Tell me why the fascination presses and such truck from unstable positions?
A heavy one arm DB press from the bench or even the floor is nasty on it's own, if it's not nasty why not get a bigger DB? |

as far as other capacities than strength, just look for push-up variations (of which there are a ton--just read my outstanding push-up article in this month's PM!), standing horizontal pushing throws (e.g. with medicine balls), etc. |
Greg I was reading this months PM and I think some of the links are broken/misplaced?
Tiger bend - won't load
pike push-up- links to the bar push-up
