Re: Floor presses
A ****load of the things I do make me look different in my gym (squats, deads, cleans, snatches, etc.). And yes, floor presses are awesome.Originally posted by johnnyironboard

If the top end of your Bench Press needs work, then yes.

Most people like to use a BB. If you can do dumbells also, then by all means go for it.

Use both, when using DB use a neutral grip and lower with elbows next to the body and press hard and fast straight up. With bar, ( if you can use them) chains are a great extra on the floor press.Originally posted by johnnyironboard
