How to do the Dumbbell Floor Press
- 1
Lay on the floor holding dumbbells in your hands. Your knees can be bent. Begin with the weights fully extended above you.
- 2
Lower the weights until your upper arm comes in contact with the floor. You can tuck your elbows to emphasize triceps size and strength, or to focus on your chest angle your arms to the side.
- 3
Pause at the bottom, and then bring the weight together at the top by extending through the elbows.
Log it, see it on your body.
Every Dumbbell Floor Press set you log feeds Ascend's anatomy heatmap — so your triceps volume is visible at a glance — and counts toward your bodyweight-strength tier.
