Table of Contents
Lie on the floor under a barbell in a rack or have a partner hand the bar to you. Grip slightly wider than shoulder width. Lower the bar until your upper arms touch the floor, pause briefly, then press back up to lockout.
Pro Tips
- Reduced range of motion makes this easier on the shoulders
- Great for building lockout strength and tricep power
- Useful when no bench is available or for joint-friendly pressing
