CHEST

Floor Press

IntermediateBarbell

A pressing variation done lying on the floor rather than a bench. The floor cuts your range of motion short, which emphasizes the lockout of the press and takes stress off the shoulders. It's a good way to build upper-body strength while sparing the shoulder joints.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie on the floor with your shoulder blades squeezed together and knees bent, feet planted.

  2. 2

    Keep your head, shoulders, and glutes on the floor, with the bar racked at arm's-length height.

  3. 3

    Unrack the bar and hold it over your shoulders.

  4. 4

    Brace your core and bend your elbows, keeping them about 45 degrees from your torso.

  5. 5

    Lower until your elbows gently touch the floor, then press the bar back up as you exhale.
