Zirv FitnessStrength exercise
Floor Press
How to do it
- Lie flat on your back on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat, holding the weight at arm's length above your chest.
- Set your grip at a width that keeps your forearms vertical once your upper arms reach the floor.
- Lower the weight under control until your upper arms rest on the floor, then pause briefly at the bottom.
- Press the weight back up to full arm extension, driving through the chest and triceps brachii.
- Exhale on the press and inhale during the controlled descent.
- Keep the pause at the bottom still rather than bouncing the weight off the floor to start the next rep.
