Dumbbell Floor Press

by Jace

The floor stops the arms at a fixed depth, so it is a pressing option that needs no bench and keeps the range predictable.

How to do it

  1. Lie on the floor, knees bent, dumbbells over the chest.
  2. Lower until the backs of the upper arms rest on the floor, then pause for a beat.
  3. Press straight up without letting the elbows flare wide, breathing out on the way up.
  4. Keep the ribs down so the lower back stays close to the floor.
