Strength
Dumbbell floor press
Keep upper-body pushing in the strength session.
Set up
Lie on the floor with your knees bent. Use weights you can position and lower comfortably.
Keep in mind
- Lower the dumbbells steadily.
- Let the upper arms meet the floor gently.
- Press smoothly, without bouncing or rushing.
What to check
Ask a coach to check your setup if positioning the weights is difficult. Do not use race loads as a strength target.
Use it in your session
Follow the warm-up, target, effort and recovery in your own programme. Log actual results after doing the work. A past result is a reference, not an automatic load or pace prescription.
