    Tiny bit confused here!

    Is 10kg the full amount of the weight you're lifting? example being 2 x5kg dumbells?

    And do you mean body weight as in doing a press up?

    Try this for a chest routine.

    After your warm up,

    Dumbell flies: 3 sets at weight you are comfortable with and proper form

    Pec dec machine 3 sets to failure - keep arms out straight semi bent as if hugging someone, slow sets not fast (ensure to squeez the pecs as they contract) with a decent weight you can manage and if you can when your completely nackered try resisting the weight on the way back to the start position.

    Finish off with your press ups til failure, do them incline and decline.

    DISCLAIMER:
    Now don't blame me when you can't scratch your arse the next day :D
