Floor Press (Close Grip)

Step 1

Holding a barbell with both hands, lie on your back on a yoga mat and extend both legs, keeping your feet together. Extend your elbows to hold the barbell directly in front of your chest, hands shoulder-width apart. This is your starting position.

Step 2

Inhale. Bend your elbows to lower the barbell towards you until your elbows touch the floor, ensuring that your elbows remain close to the sides of your body.

Step 3

Exhale. Extend your elbows and push the barbell away from your chest to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
