The Dumbbell Floor Close Grip Press is a variation of the traditional dumbbell bench press, with the key difference being that it is performed lying flat on the floor instead of on a bench. This exercise primarily targets the triceps, the muscles on the back of the upper arms, but it also engages the chest and shoulders to a lesser extent.
Let's start by lying on the floor. Grab your dumbbells and have your upper arms rested on the floor, with a 90 degree bend in your elbows. Have your elbows tucked in and your palms facing each other.
This is the starting position.
From here, press your hands up until your arms are fully extended. Then, bring the weights carefully back to the starting position. This is one repetition, now repeat for the desired amount.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping Aids to make this exercise as safe as possible.
