Floor Press: how to do it and form tips

A bench press performed lying on the floor. Range of motion stops at the upper arms — saves the shoulders and builds tricep lockout.

Form tips

  1. Lie flat on the floor with the bar at chest level on the rack.
  2. Lower until your triceps touch the floor, pause, then press up.
  3. Keep your feet flat for stability — no leg drive on this one.
