DB Floor Press

Thanks man.

I really like doing both DE/ME exercises in one workout. This way, we're doing 2 good powerlifting workouts a week, which allows us to do a good olympic lifting workout and a HARD events day... so far things are progressing well.

 

[b fold the truth]

I'd have a rough time staying mentally UP for doing both... Don't see how you guys can do both...

I get more gains from the little exercises that go with the main move than the main move itself. For example...I do speed bench and then increase my press by doing all the other things (board press, tate presses, jm presses, lats, dbell cleans, etc...). The big mistake that I have made for most of the summer is leaving out those accessory exercises...
