How viable and how safe is this floor press variation?

For those that, unfortunately, do not have a power rack.



Would it be better in the Ez curl bar rack? Or would that break? I'm talking bench 350-450 range.

Doesn't seem too bad with a handoff or two.

I used two benches instead, so you can get in a better position instead of pulling in that far.

I used two buckets filled with cement(also has wood in them for my squat rack) and I did it off that. Lets just say unracking sucked. If I want to do any sort of bench press varient then I have to do it laying down.

I need to buy a quality bench, I have one in a box but it won't hold a lot of weight.

Interesting. We actually only have two "free" benches to use, it'd be difficult as the built in benches are different heights than our dumbell benches. I shall experiment.

I'd have a spotter, but I see what you're saying. Thank you!

With a handoff or better two man... sure why not, but you better trust them. However, doing your own liftoffs is really hard on the shoulders and can cause injury.

Ask spotter to deadlift the weight for you.

I actually considered this, but most guys at my gym bench more than they deadlift, it's a shame.

It'd be difficult to get someone to deadlift 400 pounds to me. Possibly two people, one on each end?
