The editors of Men's Fitness reply: Try the 'lying pull-over press' - it hits numerous upper body muscles including your core, back, chest and arms, and you can be in and out of the gym in a matter of minutes.
The move is basically a pull-over followed by a chest press. Aim to do three sets of 12 to 15 reps. You can alter the move to target particular muscles if you wish:
Pecs: add 12 to 15 chest presses between the pull-overs.
Back: use an eight second descent and four second ascent during the pull-over.
Triceps: Move your hands until they're about six inches apart and do a series of close-grip chest presses.
