Dumbbell Straight Leg Floor Press (No Leg Drive)
Lay flat on your back with the legs straight out with a dumbbell in each hand resting near your chest. Keeping your shoulders down and back with your chest sticking out, press the dumbbells towards the ceiling until your elbows are straight. Then, bend the elbows to lower the weights back down. Lower the weights until the triceps rest on the floor for a second to dampen the stretch reflex and avoid momentum before pressing again. We are keeping the legs straight out here to remove leg drive. This is to increase our upper body strength without assistance from the legs and is just another variation.
Trainer Tips: When pressing, the more the elbows are flared out, the more shoulders and rotator cuff will be used. Make sure you keep a proud chest, lock your lats, and bring your elbows in slightly to use more chest, back, and triceps as opposed to prioritizing shoulders; especially when the weight is heavy to avoid injury. Pressing extra wide is not wrong, but should be done with lighter weight for high reps to avoid excess strain on the shoulders.
