Coach Davies, thank you for posting today’s workout. I will tear it up tonight. One question, how do you perform a dumbbell floor press?

Nate, the floor press is performed the same as the bench press except you’re lying on the floor, which obviously restricts your motion to primarily the upper portion of the movement.

Buster, thank you! I should have known that. I remember now! I think the “dumbbell” coming before “floor press” threw me off for some reason. I’ll be sure to tear it up! Today will be a fun day!
