The floor press was waaaaay easier than the bench for me, too.
are you doing the floor press with legs out straight, no arch and pausing the weight with the upper arms on the floor?

Taking all the fun out of the lift?
I haven’t done floor presses in nearly a year but at the time my bench was higher but only be about 5-10kg
Floor press right now is lower for me, but I do it similiar to the way maraudermeat said. I go down slow, pause, then explode up.
Also it is the weak part of my bench, due to my chest/shoulders being really strong compared to my triceps. (Hence why I’d fail 2/3 of the way up on a 1rm attempt)
