Floor presses
Floor presses should be harder than normal bench, correct?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Hmmmm.... I've been stuck at 250 for bench the last 2 weeks (failing when I try 255) for my ME exercise. Tonight I did floor presses for my ME exercise and did 255.

It depends on your strengths. If you have a strong lockout and poor explosiveness from the bottom then your floor press will be more.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.

That makes sense. I usually don't have lockout trouble. My trouble is always off the chest.

Then it's not the triceps (and hence the floor presses aren't going to help you) that's the problem, it's the lats. Originally Posted by Rocco32

Time for some suspended bench pressing it sounds like to me! I have yet to try floor pressing. I will have to give it a go.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

One thing to consider is no stretch reflex with the movement, plus you naturally are going to avoid beating the crap out of your elbows by slamming them quickly.

I'm really trying to work lats more. More volume, less intensity. Originally Posted by Triple Threat

The only problem is I have nowhere to do the suspended benching unless I just hold it on my chest for a few seconds. Originally Posted by CowPimp
