Bench & Bench Variation: Dumbbell Floor Press

Instructions

Grasp a pair of dumbbells with wrists at 45 degrees keeping your legs flat on the floor straight out in front, toes pointed toward the ceiling. Actively contract the upper back and lats by bringing the shoulders down and back, keeping the chest high and lower back slightly arched so someone could slide a hand under it.  Maintaining the elbows and wrists at 45 degrees, lower the dumbbells under control until the elbows slightly touch the floor and then pressing back to the starting position.  Common Error:  Hitting the elbows hard into the floor and not maintaining a tight posture on the floor.
