Larsen Press

How to do it

  1. Lie on a flat bench and lift your feet off the ground, extending your legs straight.
  2. Keep your feet elevated throughout the entire movement.
  3. Unrack the barbell and lower it to your chest with control.
  4. Press the bar back up to full lockout.
  5. The lack of leg drive increases chest and tricep engagement.
  6. Maintain core stability without an arch.
