Dumbbell Lying on Floor Hammer Press
The dumbbell floor press with the palms facing each other; the floor stops each rep at the upper arms and the neutral grip keeps the elbows close.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on the floor, legs straight, a dumbbell in each hand over the chest, palms facing each other.
Steps
- Lower the bells until the backs of the upper arms touch the floor.
- Pause there without relaxing.
- Press back up, palms still facing each other.
Common mistakes
Bouncing the arms off the floor: pause, then press. Elbows flaring out: with this grip they stay close to the body. Letting the bells turn at the top: neutral from bottom to top.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
