Barbell Floor Press — chest compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Barbell Floor Press

Compound · Weight × reps

Avoid bouncing the arms or using a setup that traps you under the bar; plates should have clear space. The floor limits shoulder extension but does not create an exact 90-degree elbow angle or guarantee comfort, so adjust grip width and elbow path individually.

HOW TO DO BARBELL FLOOR PRESS

  1. Set a bar in low rack hooks with safeties, or have qualified partners pass it, then lie beneath it with knees bent and feet planted.
  2. Unrack the bar, lower until your upper arms touch the floor gently, pause without relaxing, and press upward.
  3. Keep wrists over elbows and the bar moving over your shoulders.
