Floor Press

Think of the floor press as the deadlift of benching. This motion does not allow you to bounce the bar off of your chest to gain momentum. Many times people incorrectly bench by smashing the weight into their sternum. We try to avoid that, so to overcome sticking points, we implement the floor press.

I'm sure he's used a bench, but either way he probably knows more about fitness then you ever will.

Thats ok, I only ever comment to be constructive, I hate it when people comment just to slag somthing/ somone off, makes you wonder what their personal life is like lol.

thats true the chest looks like it was rarely used cuz of the fact that he couldnt go lowering.... he mostly used his deltoids and triceps n biceps...and um the shoulders bring the arms towards the body in that restriction not the chest.... close grip focuses more on the chest then deltoids but uses more of triceps..this is wat i feel n do..chest out my chest video if u disagree man

haha i hear that. have a good one man.

[MARCUSISTHEMEGASTUD]

alright well thanks for not being mean about it. i get it now.

[MrWykes]

That means the triceps would be used even less then usual. And the chest even more. Ignore everything below the elbow, the pecs brings the upper arm in towards the body.

looked to me in that lift that the chest was rarely used because of the floor restricting how low it went.

[MrWykes]

Verry little though, its mainly chest and delts, triceps are very much a secondary muscle, unless its close bench.

[MARCUSISTHEMEGASTUD]

you know i meant chest also, but yes triceps are involved mrwykes.

[MrWykes]

You do know that the bench press, or floor press in this case, has hardly anything to do with arms right?
