+1Is an OK exercise, especially if rehabbing the shoulder or dialing in on a specific ROM issue.
Overall I find it to be inferior to pushup variations, dips, or plain old incline bench press.
I was considering a cycle of pttp Thanks for the input guys.
You are absolutely right. Just thinking of the floor press instead of mp or sp for the sole reason of needing to BUILD upper body mainly chest since using kbs this seems to be under worked. If I was doing side or m press Id rather use kbs anyway due to the unique arc up. Thanks for the input.Since Pavel included the floor press as an option in PTTP, he obviously thought it was adequate for the purposes of the program
Thats kinda what I was afraid of.the limited range of motion makes chest development inferior
Not true IMO and possibly dependend on individual body types.the limited range of motion makes chest development inferior

- The floor press is an upper body movement that allows you to press massive weights without undue shoulder stress.
- Floor presses negate leg drive, creating a pure upper-body push. All the stress is focused on the chest, triceps, and shoulders.
- The floor press can be programmed either as a max effort lift or dynamic movement. If using it as a dynamic movement, stick between 40% and 70% of 1RM with an emphasis on maximum bar speed.

Hey guys is doing floor press as in PTTP enough range of motion to build upper body.
