If only 1 excer. for chest?

[youngbuck]

I play a sport that requires lots of throwing, and have been told not to bench or chest. I like to look good but with no chest what the fuck can i do to make some gains while putting little stress on my shoulder ligaments and tendons?

I know you said no chest or bench, but I would choose decline dumbbell press. It always gives me a great chest pump without too much strain on my shoulders, like incline or flat does.

I'd say dumbbell flat bench with a weight that you can lift in the 8 range. Just my opinion though.

If I had to pick one chest excercise it would be incline presses. It stresses the joints but u asked for one excercise. I would not do decline alone. Picture yourself down the road a few years with that old man sag in the lower pecs.

Decline presses fuck my shoulders royally, I would stay away from those. But everyone is different.

That would be my choice for easiest on the shoulders, too. Personally, would go for the 10 rep range. But, that's just me.
