Floor press women.
The floor press which was covered extensively in a previous article is a segmented shorter range of motion variation of the bench press with the intent to target the top half.
For women with shoulder issues the dumbbell floor press is usually better tolerated than the traditional bench press due to the use of a neutral grip.
While most bodybuilders and strength athletes today will use the bench press for the majority of chest training the floor press used to be the gold standard.
This reduces extension at the shoulder joint while still providing a good training effect for the pecs and tricepss.
Floor presses negate leg drive creating a pure upper body push.
Besides pressing on the floor limits the range of motion slightly.
The floor press is an upper body movement that allows you to press massive weights without undue shoulder stress.
All the stress is focused on the chest triceps and shoulders.
