Team Floor Press over here. 👋
Here’s why this underrated lift deserves a spot in your rotation ⤵️
1️⃣ Pain-friendly pressing: If bench presses or push-ups light up your shoulders, the floor press can get you pressing under load sooner without aggravating those positions.
2️⃣ No rack, no problem: All you need is a barbell or dumbbells. The floor press lets you train strong pressing mechanics at home without a full gym setup.
3️⃣ Built-in ROM check: The bench press demands full shoulder extension + internal rotation. If you’re missing those, the shoulder can translate forward, which can lead to both pain and dysfunction.
The floor press limits those risky ranges, keeping the movement safer while still heavy enough to drive strength.
Bottom line: Less stress on your shoulders, big pressing payoff.
