I am really enjoying these floor presses. Something different and difficult, yet they feel like they are ‘working’, unlike the plain old bench press. Hit a nice PR on them, then went over to decline db presses, where I just about killed myself. As I was finishing my first set I tried to sit back up so I could stand up and leave the bench, but the support bar you put your feet under for leverage came off and went flying and I just about flipped over backwards as my feet flew up in the air. I had to dump the dbs and stabilize myself, but I was ok. Everyone else was freaked out. I then moved to the barbell decline bench, but it was awkward to setup in so I didn’t increase the poundages like I wanted to. CG bench against bands is really improving. I felt very strong on them tonight.
