FLOOR PRESS

This is a regressed exercise version of the BENCH PRESS. This exercise is made easier due to the shortened range of motion. Lie down on the floor with weights in both hands. Start so that your hands are raised to be directly above your chest. Keep the wrists vertically in line with your elbows and lower your arm to the ground until your elbows touch the floor. At the bottom of the movement your hands will be roughly in line with the bottom of your chest. Press upwards to return to starting position and repeat as required.

Muscles Involved:

  • Pectoralis Major

  • Pectoralis Minor

  • Anterior Deltoid

  • Triceps Brachii

Related Conditions:

  • Strength Training

  • AC Joint Sprain (Late Stage Recovery)

  • Pectoralis Strain (Non-acute)
