Grippers to help your crushing grip. You close them.

nice, why dont you rep out with the 95 bench press??

YOU!!!

thats crazy though 225x38 dAM

but really. one question i have is, do floor presses work mainly your upper chest? what are the benefits of bench press to a floor press.

geoffsherman · 11-08-2005, 12:54 AM

There are several advantages to the floor press
(a) It takes your legs out of the equation so you are really just hitting the chest (obviously, you won't be able to do as much)
(b) You can focus your range of motion a little better

The only disadvantage is that it is pretty tough to keep your elbow more tucked, I find that mine flair out quite a bit.

Shoter ROM good for triceps. Hits your chest sort of okay.

LaggingBiceps · 11-08-2005, 01:17 AM

Ok, what about upper chest. I heard it hits upper chest better than incline?

**Peaked_18** · 11-08-2005, 01:18 AM

Doubt it.

geoffsherman · 11-08-2005, 01:47 AM

No effects on upper chest versus lower chest. Incline is still better...
