You can try the wide grip decline barbell bench press to build upper body strength.  Begin by making sure the bench is in the decline position.  Lie down and anchor your feet at the end of the bench.  Place your hands about four feet apart on the bar.  Do not add any weight to the bar.  Tighten your abs as you lower the bar to where it is a few inches from your chest.  Now raise it straight above your chest until your arms are straightened again.  Repeat for 2 sets of 10 repetitions to begin.

The close grip barbell bench press exercise will help to build your triceps.  Begin by lying flat on the bench.  Place your feet flat on the floor and make sure that your abs are tight.  No weight should be added to the barbell.  Grab the barbell so that your hands are about a foot and a half apart.  Lift the bar off the rack and lower it to about a few inches from your chest.  Now press up again until your arms are straight.  Repeat for 2 sets of 10 repetitions.
