Come on bud...you should know by now that you can't get stronger lifting the same amount of weight everyday. That is precisely why you see the same guys in the gym year after year without any additional muscle on them. THEY ARE DOING THE SAME THING, NOT INCREASING THE WEIGHT!!! You'll never be able to bench what you want if you're only doing pushups. Don't quit the gym...the $20 isn't that much, I'm sure you can find something to get it. DON'T QUIT THE GYM!!!
