Barbell One-Arm Floor Press
The floor press with one hand gripping the bar at its center: lying flat, the bar is pressed from the chest to a straight arm and kept level.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on the floor, legs straight, one hand gripping the barbell at its center over the chest.
Steps
- Lower the bar until the upper arm touches the floor.
- Press it up to a straight arm, keeping it level.
- Pause at lockout, then lower again under control.
Common mistakes
Gripping off center: the bar tips; find the balance point first. Bouncing the arm off the floor: stop there, then press. Bar tilting at the top: keep the wrist straight under its center.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing from the pause.
