Floor Press
Advanced/Intermediate: 3-3-3-3-3
95-105-115-125-135
The Floor Press is essentially a Bench Press minus the actual bench. At the bottom of each rep, there will be a momentary pause before locking the bar out over the chest. The pause at the bottom of a Floor Press does two things; firstly it removes the stretch reflex normally present in Bench Pressing. This will produce a similar training effect as seen in Box Squats where the pause at the bottom forces your muscles to move the weight without the benefit of an elastic rebound. Secondly, a slow and controlled Floor Press will protect your wrists and upper arms. That’s also pretty important..
