Floor Press

Muscles worked

Technique

Setup

Lie flat on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat. Hold dumbbells directly above your chest.

Movement

Lower the weights until your elbows lightly touch the floor, then press them back to the starting position.

Form Tip

The floor acts as a hard stop, limiting the range of motion and focusing the effort on the triceps and the 'lockout' phase of the press.

Increase Difficulty

Add a 2-second pause with elbows on the floor to eliminate momentum.

Decrease Difficulty

Use lighter weights or perform with one arm at a time.
