[voianhemsed]

Ive seen heavier dumbbells in the my little pony set.....

[CaptainCocaine]

If I look at it from the side.... what? The video ended there for me. What happened to the rest of it?

[90addition]

[LtFluffelz]

NOO i never got to see it from the side!!!

[BossTub3]

what does rotating the db do?

[Hutchino46]

@BossTub3 it attacks more area's of the muscle, jst a more well rounded workout

[BossTub3]

@Hutchino46 thanks

[musclepunched]

Can you do this with just one?

[IrishRhavin]

@musclepunched As in one side at a time? Thats what i've been doing lately but just for safety

[0dour]

*HELP LOL*

i found some small 2 kg dumbells in my garage will they be effectiev at all for exercising? lol

[taiocruz333]

@0dour no lol

[akonvict]

@0dour LMFAO 2kh dumbells.

[word4today1]

Yeah its not a bad exercise, the only thing I find with this method is your elbows cant go back just that little bit of distance needed to really get the full benefit as they would on a bench.

[AIDINSWE]

true

@word4today1

the point of floor benches is not to get that part of the bench in, it isolates your triceps more.

[dasafdsfaafda]

thank you very useful! good luck for everybody

[weathered79]

is this a good substitute or better than pushups i hate doing pushups

[r052476577]

same, its so much hard work lol

[dboyz0123]

it will be better than push ups cause you can increse your resistance as you get stronger with increasing the dbs. I wouldn't say a subsitute for bench press though, maybe alternative. However, I think better for adding some size do to the fact your able to increase resistance with dbs or any free weights. I would contract your chest though ,so you will get more benefit.

@weathered79

what your body/mind hates/ is uncomfortable doing, is probably what it needs the most.

and ultimately what you are habituated to (i.e. comfortable) doing needs to be not neglected,

but also stepped away from now and then to get the "other perspective"

All muscles in the body/mind cannot be worked, but variety tends to hit the dark neglected corners better that any other method.

Variety can be incorporated by measuring across multiple exercises, with overall goals.

@weathered79

no. stop being lazy, there is no substitute for pushups. 

[cantstoptherok]

@weathered79 No it's not bro

[thugkid1982]

good work, whats the weight of the dumbells you using?

[da44e]

@thugkid1982 i think they are 10kg each

[NoAddedAnything]

If you dont have a bench, and you want to get more ROM, all i do is get 3 bed pillows and put them on top of each other. Job done, works for me.

[mlz90]

i thought i'm the only one with the idea.haha

[zkyggen]

@NoAddedAnything Floor pressing is not about not having a bench, idiot.

[Jockolane]

I rate this one a 3. There's just so much more one can do. A for verbal presentation. It beats the exercise videos where they don't say anything or crank music.

[Memphis35]

WTF is this crap?

[KaseyAkira]

Ok dumbass, the floor stops your elbows from going back past the mid line, which severely limits your ROM. You should always do this work on a bench, NOT on the floor.

[sianlee]

Actually this particular exercise is also done on those multi-gym sets, You grab the handles and push them away from you which lifts the weights behind you. Your arms don't go right behind you, only slightly. Besides if you did it on a bench as well, you could hurt your shoulders/biceps if you're not careful. He is doing this correctly!

[KaseyAkira]

Of the millions and millions of people all around the world who do bench presses every day, I have never known anyone who got hurt because his elbows dropped behind his mid line.

[chombe4]

My shoulder was hurt becuase Dumbbell bench press, this should will work fine ..

[sethbaylock]

Dude this is how it was done before they ever invented the weightbench!

[odeamuste]

i like this!
