Resembles the same problem I have.. I can always PR on every ME movement "EXCEPT" floor presses.. So, gonna start throwing then into my rotation more often I suppose.. Have you guys tried using bands on Floor Presses yet? I gave these a shot a couple weeks back with doubled light bands which I guess added about 100 pounds to the top but basically nothing on the bottom.. I still only matched my previous PR in Bar weight "BUT" had the bands to nail my lockout with an extra 100 or so.. I definitly recommend these now...

Re: FLOOR PRESSES SUCK

Spatts:
Previous Record: 177
Today..................177

i find it odd than spatts can only(and i dont mean only in a bad way) floor press 177, but didnt she recently bench 297 of a 2 board or something?? i know she at least got 243 in a normal bench.

if you fail on the floor press, where does that mean you weak? my floor press is about even with my normal bench press....is that weird or something?

D, mine has alot to do with my rotator cuff problems. I had to lay off of them while I was rehabbing my shoulders, and it's still very weak. I was going to post, myself, asking what shoulder movements you guys get the most carry over from. Keep in mind that the 243 and 297 were in a shirt....which helps the MOST where I'm the weakest.

i see...
well for shoulder movements.. if my seated military goes up.. my bench goes up...
...
like i started out doing 95 x 6 on seated militarys and i was benching around 180, and now im doing 115 x 4-6 and benching 205

Palms out or in?

I've been doing them with palms in, and added some raises from front delt rehab too. I also do power cleans and hang snatches on bench day.

You use lats at the bottom too, but I really don't think they are the bigger problem, for me.

i do them on a bar... no dumbells for me unless its front side or rear raises...

 

[spatts]

Gotcha.

Wonder if my shoulders will put up with that just yet...

 

[The Shadow]

try incline front raises with db's

 

[spatts]

Corn, would you believe that my rotators are still so weak that I can't do that with more than 5-10 pounds in each hand? I'm working on those though. Keep the suggestions coming...I appreciate it.

just be sure to do internal and extendal exercises.
