Do Bench Press on the Floor

[Muscles’]

Have you ever tried DB bench on the floor. For either your main or fry out ?

Yea i got one of those in my home gym. I use it for seal rows and for bench. I bench heavy and then I'll use the cambered bar at the end to fry my chest. Quite effective.

No never. To me it has limited use. If a powerlifter wants to work on the lock out portion of the lift. But you'd be using barbell. I've never seen dumbbell floor press.

You should give it a go for a few times see how you like it. You may be surprised how well it works your chest.

Im not into powerlifting so maybe that’s why I don’t have issue with using it as my main chest exercise

The problem with bench press is mostly the bar...it forces a relatively wide arm posture... Best case is a neutral grip so a machine is the only option.

Multi-grip Swiss bar over in the corner waving its hands saying “pick me, pick me!”
