5-7-14 – Building My Arms

As I work towards getting my triceps stronger, I incorporated floor presses into my training routine. I am still focusing on keeping my elbows in and not flaring early. Today’s session went well; I stayed at 185 for 5 sets of 2. This weight felt easy and I was able to push through every set. One of the reasons why I do floor presses is because they involve no leg drive at all. You have to be able to get the weight up with pure arm strength. Floor presses as well as other close grip presses have surely increased my bench press and also have helped me not flare on the bench press.
