First time i did these at my gym (ymca), one of the Y "fitness trainers" that works at the desk came up to me about mid way through "You know, both benches are free now?"

I got the same response from the owner of my gym the first time we did them.

He said, 'Hey man, you know we have benches, right?' I said, 'Yes, I know, but we're doing floor presses.' He said, 'Oh okay. I just feel bad for you because you're lying down in the dirt.'

Yes, but he was the one lying in the proverbial dirt of ignorance, lol.

I hit 405 for 3 on floor press last night. My best before that was 425 so I think I am up a few pounds. I find them very difficult b/c I touch my arms to the floor and pause on each rep but try to stay tight. it wears me the hell out
