Kettlebell Is the floor press worth doing?

How do you get the bar into the starting position with the floor press? I read PTTP a while ago and seem to remember a spotter being used.

I did this for more than a year when doing 531 alone without a bench.

Thanks @fractal. I saw that video before posting but just wondered how folks here did it, whether that was the StrongFirst way or not.

We perform heavy-ish 1 and 2 arm dumbbell floor presses in the following way as an off-season bench accessory:

With elbow resting on the ground, generate tension and explode the press.
Accentuate a slow active negative (~5s)
"Rest" the elbow but keep the core, pec, lat, and grip tight

Helps with horizontal press work while sparing the athlete from the bench "shape"
