Pushups
I did push ups for quite a while. Then I switched to bench press on a smith machine, now just regular bench press. It's far far more effective.
Be careful with thinking like that. Every exercise is different. There are certain aspects of a pushup that cant be emulated on a machine, just like there are aspects of a bench that cant be emulated without the additional weight.
I like pushups because there's a million and one ways to do them and each one has a different effect. You can work almost every muscle in the upper body by doing a variety of pushups.
