Hey guys, me again- please let me know how did I do ? - I took from different angle for both floor and decline as well.

215 Lb floor press -did 3 reps cuz I had to do PR according to program

https://youtu.be/6Kqfr15-Hlw


Different angle but more weight

240 lb PR only did 2 reps

https://youtu.be/rFS26-bRVEs



Decline now

195 lb 5 reps

https://youtu.be/08-iI-D3ETg


Different angle and more weight

200 Lb 5 reps I think

Here I am again- eager to learn. Let me know if something needs to be changed.

I tried arching my back on normal bench press (no video present) but my back felt cramped lol

Eh more like people don't really give a damn about those lifts. The big 3 are the important ones that will get you responses.

I don't like how your unravking the floor press. Unrack it higher and start like u would with a normal bench. Looks ok besides that. Pause every rep.

Lol instead of bench press I've been doing floor presses cuz I have no spotter. For me this was one of the big three

Defensive and whiny? I didn't but Ok i'll better word my responses from now on.

I started doing this cuz weight got heavier and to avoid any fall out-keep the rack lower allows me to put it back in place with minimal effort.

I agree with Ecks...to should definately unrack it higher as you would a bench. Also in my personal opinion you shouldn't trade the bench for floor press, floor press is more of a supplimental lift focusing on the mid range to lockout part of the bench focusing on the medial head of the tricep. If you don't have a spot and you have the means to do so ( I notice it's a home gym) I would do dumbell presses or dips while leaning forward. Both excersises you can get the full range of motion hitting the same muscles as the bench....not so much the dips because you can't really engage the upper back as well BUT the delta tris upper and middle chest will take a glorious beating when done right

You shouldn't need a spotter for bench unless you're training to failure which you're not judging from your posts.

I always try to work until I can't push more- if my program says 5, 3 , 1 I'll try to push until I can at the last set.

But Ok- i'll move the set up little bit up - this was just easier to un-rack (on shoulders) and perceived safety lol.
