I tried them for the first time the other day and they hit my triceps big time. Of course I only have dbs but I'm sure a similar feeling would be had on a barbell too.

I performed floor presses out of necessity in 1982. I had just started lifting and only had a standard barbell with plastic-encased concrete plates. Was doing 80 pound floor presses after my Grandfather deadlifted the weight and handed it to me. But lately I have been wanting to try them again for the fun of it, and possibly as a legit assistance movement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandpa was always too liquored up so I had my grandma spot me while using the gray plastic concrete plates. Too funny! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 As part of the My Corona Virtual PL meet today I did a controlled 300 with a lil pause. Guessing I could have gotten 5 or 10 more TnG. Back to reps. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting ten should put you at 375ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) So... um... er... this just happened. 2xl knee sleves on elbows. 25 lbs from my all time best. I think it's been 7 years since I last benched 3 wheels. Another ounce would not have gone. Lol Honestly I was completely shocked. Was going to do reps today, but felt really strong so I went for it. Unracked 365 to fire cns, stripped the 25s and let her rip. Edited April 22, 2020 by Mike Rinderle 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
