Dumbbell floor press: how to do it
1 of 3
Upper arms on the floor
Starting position
Lie on your back with bent knees and feet on the floor, holding the dumbbells by your chest with upper arms on the floor.
The movement
Press the dumbbells straight up until your arms are extended, then lower until your upper arms gently touch the floor.
Most common mistake
Don't drop your elbows hard onto the floor, lower the dumbbells with control and stop at a gentle touch.
