Floor Presses Variation for Chest Development by Tuan Tran

train with me at http://myhitechtrainer.com/tihealthandfitness

There are two different ways to floor press.

FLOOR PRESS STYLE 1: Floor pressing with your legs straight.

When you floor press with your legs straight in front of you, you will be able to floor press WAY LESS weight than what you would be able to bench press. On the bench press you are using other muscles such as your legs for drive and there are so many ways to cheat. However, when you floor press with your legs straight in front of you, there is no way to cheat! Therefore, you will discover your real upper body power without all of your other muscle groups and technique playing a role! When you floor press with your legs straight you will be able to attain additional power, which the flat bench press alone cannot provide.

FLOOR PRESS STYLE 2: The floor press with an arched back.

The second style of floor pressing is lying on floor with your knees bent instead of straight! This is the way that you will probably see most benchers floor pressing. By keeping your knees bent, the floor press then becomes more like a "decline bench press," depending on how much the bencher arches.

I suggest that sometimes you floor press with your legs up and other times with your legs straight. Mostly with your legs straight though to get the most out of this exercise.

wow that looks like 110 lb dumbbell

I've used those kinds before, they're really uncomfortable being too big

[roughneckasian]

the dbs where 80 lbs. if you are looking to build on your ability on stabilizing weights, these wide dbs are better that those really compacted dbs you see in other gyms. it takes more effort for me to press and control the 120 lbs dbs here vs. the 150 compact type that you will find at other cooperate gyms. Part of my increase in strength and growth are because of this type of dumbbell.

If you are looking for a shoot of my back, try my other videos. You may like the one when I do 415 lbs barbell deadlifts for 12 reps or any of my pull videos. But I think for the best video on my back would be any of my psoing video. On top of that, I just finished a full chest workout. I think with my chest was so full, it would make any part of my body look out of porpertions

Why is your triceps so red?

[roughneckasian]

@coolamannenpwn it is from the pressure and impact of the stepper when my tricep lands on it. Same thing happens when I do the on the floor. It goes away in a day or 2. Just looks back...lol

[SinisterSkip]

Man that's one big round chest. I'm almost questioning my sexuality. Ufff, what the heck's going on :)

[LolFuO]

I have a tinny question for You, Tuan. When You are pushing the weights are You trying to flex Your back?? I've heard that helps when you want to do it properly (is it true?), thanks for reply

[mj23johnny]

[xsaranah]

[coolamannenpwn]

[FredtheAsian]

Ohw man what happened to your tricep? XD & Awesome demo!

[raidacaipo]

They let you workout at the gym without a shirt on? lol

[TraumaER]

looking beast; i'd probably walk everywhere in a tank top lol

[michaelzwarszawy]

looking massive and lean man, great work. yeah that exercise looks great, even incorporating some pausing on the stepper would be good too, for eliminating the stretch reflex and making it even harder. good stuff for plateau busting.
