Modifications w/o bench

I am doing the at-home workouts, but I do not have a bench. For hip thrusts, I use the arm of a recliner and for floor decline flye, I raise my butt up to create the decline, but I haven’t figured out how to modify to do incline exercises. What do you recommend doing for some of the incline (i.e. incline dumbbell press, incline rear delt flye, etc.) and decline exercises, if any, that may need a bench?

In place of those, you can just lay flat on the floor. I know it’s not the same, but it might take even more away of you try to use something else for an incline. I would just do floor dumbbell press instead of incline db press and bent-over rear delt flies for incline rear dent flies (bent-over is at a similar angle as inline bench, you just aren’t laying your chest flat on a bench). I hope this helps 🙂
