Floor press lbs

[t3c]

hmm, I was a little discouraged today when trying floor press for the first time...

how should my floor press be compared to my raw bench?

My floor press with legs totally straight is exactly the same as my raw flat bench.

I think it all depends on your strengths and weaknesses though.

my floor press is very close to my raw max. actually i think i can bench more with floor press than raw. they're rather close though.

Mine is lower, but then it starts just below my sticking point, so I do not have as much momentum going.

My floor press is about 75lbs or more behind my raw bench. But that is about right. YOu take out leg drive. Even if you dont use much take away your legs all together and you will be surprised how much leg drive you do get. So 70% of your raw bench is about right on track.

floor press- 190
raw bench- around 195
