Dumbbell Floor Press — chest compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Dumbbell Floor Press

Compound · Weight × reps

Avoid bouncing the arms off the floor or dropping the dumbbells beside your head after the set. The floor limits shoulder extension and emphasizes the upper part of the press, but it is not automatically pain-free; use a neutral grip or adjusted elbow angle if that fits you better.
