Dumbbell Alternating Floor Press
The dumbbell floor press one arm at a time: one bell presses up while the other waits at the chest with its upper arm on the floor.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on the floor, legs straight, a dumbbell in each hand at the sides of the chest, upper arms on the floor.
Steps
- Press one bell up over the chest.
- Lower it until the upper arm touches the floor.
- Press the other bell, and keep alternating.
Common mistakes
Torso rocking with each press: keep both shoulder blades on the floor. Waiting bell drifting away from the chest: keep it parked at the side of the chest. Dropping the working arm onto the floor: touch down softly.
Breathing
Exhale on each press, inhale lowering.
