Bottle Weighted Lying Chest Press
The floor press with two filled water bottles held by their handles instead of dumbbells; the floor stops each rep when the upper arms touch it.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on the floor, knees bent, feet flat, a filled bottle in each hand held by its handle over the chest.
Steps
- Lower the bottles until the backs of the upper arms touch the floor.
- Keep the wrists straight under the handles.
- Press both bottles back up over the chest.
Common mistakes
Bottles half full: fill them so the load stays steady. Bouncing the arms off the floor: touch lightly, then press. Wrists bending back under the handles: keep them stacked over the elbows.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
