Dumbbell Floor Press
How to do it
- Lie flat on your back on the floor with your knees bent, feet flat, and a dumbbell in each hand at chest height.
- Take a pronated grip with your upper arms resting on the floor and forearms angled slightly inward.
- Press the dumbbells straight up until your arms lock out, working the chest and triceps brachii through the shortened range of motion.
- Lower the dumbbells slowly until your upper arms and triceps touch the floor, then pause briefly before the next rep.
- Exhale as you press up and inhale during the controlled descent.
- Avoid bouncing your elbows off the floor, since that removes tension from the working muscles at the bottom.
