How to do a dumbbell floor press

  1. Lie flat on the floor with knees bent, holding a dumbbell in each hand at chest level with elbows resting on the ground.
  2. Press the dumbbells straight up until your arms are fully extended above your chest.
  3. Pause briefly at the top while keeping your core engaged.
  4. Lower the dumbbells under control until your upper arms touch the floor.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Keep your elbows at roughly a 45-degree angle to your torso.
  • Allow your upper arms to rest on the floor between reps without bouncing.
  • Maintain a neutral wrist position throughout the movement.
