How to Do Floor Dumbbell Chest Press ?
- Lay down on an exercise mat on your back. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and either keep your legs straight or bend your knees slightly with your feet flat on the floor.
- Bring the dumbbells to each side of your chest, with your palms facing each other. Your elbows should touch the floor.
- Push the dumbbells upward from your chest. Extend your arms fully, lifting the dumbbells up while squeezing your chest muscles.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then slowly and in a controlled manner lower the dumbbells back down toward the floor.
- Keep your back flat against the floor and avoid arching your lower back.
- Be careful not to lift and lower the dumbbells too quickly; focus on feeling the tension in your muscles.
- Choose a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with control and proper form.
