Floor Press

A safer alternative to bench pressing, the floor press is ideal for improving top-end strength and reducing the risk of shoulder strain.

Instructions

1. Lie on the floor inside a power rack with the bar set just above arm’s length.
2. Unrack the bar and lower it until your elbows gently touch the floor.
3. Pause briefly, then press the bar back up until your arms are extended.
4. Keep your elbows tucked and your wrists in line throughout.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
