it is so true when you weights go up.

always know your limit.

Benching on the floor at home without a proper rack or spotter. Just rack it up back on a couple of chairs. Failed, and got pinned down a few times already but thankfully not much physical damage. Mentally affects me whenever I try to bench heavy again though.

better don't if you do like that. risk > reward. Later got ribs cage broken due to barbell fell on you, organ puncture...

Yeah, I get what you mean. Taking calculated risks right now, which is why my floor-press' poundage doesn't increase as quickly as it can be. At 68kg now, and I weight 64kg. Slow and steady.

This post is useless without a vid.

I could b wrong but I don't think u get the full movement n stretch from doing floor press.

pls guys, don't teach the newbies with your macho/ego internet stories.... Spotter are important regardless of how heavy you lift, and ofcus, 'heavy' seems to be relatively different to everybody... 'calculative' benching? How are you suppose to overload your muscles?....

there was once I reached my limits but still thinking that "maybe there is 1 more rep I could squeeze out ".
Ended up stuck under the barbell because couldn't rack it back...had to slant the barbell to a side and roll the bar away till I can find some sweet spot and take it out off me..

It was quite a scary experience for me, so when I train now there will be a limit for me.
Reaching failure with dropsets now. At least get squash by bar its in lighter weight..haha...

Which is what I do now..I always do heaviest weights for my 1st set coz my energy level is at highest point..then dropping down for subsequent sets.. don't think it will be much different than the pyramid up..

Floor press only works like half ass reps.. it doesn't do much work on chest due to half motion.. but its great for triceps.. doing 68kg floor press is not something equivalent to 68kg bench press..

Nowadays, I never bench without safety features.. either I've a spotter, power rack or bench rack with many rack points so that I can re-rack whenever I failed.. I don't do throwing weights to the side anymore.. I even forget when was the last time I did that..lol..

so far, i doing barbell bench press, i only managed to rise up to 15kg (single side). at 15kg, after 10x, only continues with 5x rest pause and 5x. I cant continue without someone assist me... crap ><

Yeah, you're right. Bar can't possibly touch my chest. Trying to figure out how to get a make shift 'bench' now though.

Yeah, I'm aware of the distinction, that's why I'm calling it floor-presses now. Thanks though.

Anyway, with regards to the range of motion, I guess it's better than nothing, right? I'll work with what I have currently.

God is right. I shall try to get one uploaded soon.
