6 Weeks Out from XPC Finals @ The Arnold Classic
Last Friday was the final week in a 3-week speed wave I did for floor press. I liked doing floor press to give my back a break from arching on a bench and to get some more volume in on floor pressing, which has always been a week movement for me. I used 315lbs for my speed sets and finished with a fairly quick 325lbs; and this is the most I've done for that many sets of speed work.
Floor Press is a great movement because if you put your legs out straight you can eliminate arch and leg drive, forcing you to utilize only your chest/shoulders/triceps to press.
