Pair of dumbbells ready for a floor pressing session

Dumbbell Floor Press

Chest, triceps Dumbbells

Lie on your back with knees bent and press both dumbbells up until they stack over your chest. Lower with control until upper arms kiss the floor, pause, then drive back up. The floor limits depth safely, making this a shoulder-friendly press.

Raising light dumbbells to shoulder height during training
