Form Cues

  1. 1

    Lie on floor, clean bell to chest, press to full extension

  2. 2

    Lower slowly to tricep touching floor

  3. 3

    Keep the bell path close to your body during the clean so it doesn't swing out of control

  4. 4

    Keep feet flat and knees bent for a stable base as you press

Common Mistakes

  • ●

    Losing wrist position during the press — keep the wrist straight and bell balanced over the forearm

  • ●

    Letting the elbow slam into the floor at the bottom instead of touching down under control

  • ●

    Pressing at an angle instead of straight up over the shoulder

Equipment Variations

  • ▸

    Dumbbell floor press as direct substitute

  • ▸

    Barbell floor press for heavier bilateral loading
