What is the difference between a floor press and a bench press?
Plus iconMinus icon

A floor press is a variation of the bench press that is performed on the floor instead of on a bench. The main difference is that the range of motion is limited because the floor prevents the bar from going lower than a certain point. This can be beneficial for those who have shoulder or elbow pain as it reduces the stress on these joints. Additionally, the floor press can help to build strength in the upper chest and triceps.
