I came here searching about shoulder pain and floor press. This video makes sense to me, the reason I'm sore AF is because I was starting to go for 1 rep maxes in order to increase my reps at 185. However doing 200 on the floor press 1 time destabilized me and the weight was almost over my face.
+nachoijp + Elite1987 really depends on your objective. Pressing the weight towards your shoulders requires much more shoulder strength and less back/chest strength. Pressing the weight straight up from the xyphoid process is a much stronger position. (Think about how much more you can decline press than incline press!) Additionally, the shoulder is much more stable in a downward pressing movement. With form and safety being the primary concerns of Crossfit, it would make sense that instruction is guided this way. On a side not, this is also why a narrow grip and elbows tucked to the side is the standard position for benching and pushups in Crossfit (shoulder safety is a priority)
+BboyJDA honestly, I think if someone really wants to learn how to do this then just look at louie simmons. They have done bench from the ground for a long time now. Nothing new.
It's a similar angle to a powerlift bench press. I do floor press using safety's on a cage unit but leaving my legs dead and only core and upper body to push. There are variations like bench press and angularly he's looking for the bottom of his sternum or 'bottom boobs' as my 4 year old humor likes to say.
+neversaw but what concerned me about this was the position of the barbell. its almost over his stomach. the strain on your shoulders if you're trying to lift heavy, must be a lot
+David McKercher I could have just went on about how stupid he is, but instead I just said he was incorrect. I could offer solutions but Im not here to write a paragraph lol. my solution? watch how powerlifters do it.
So basically. You have no idea what your talking about. You should email Louie Simmons and ask him what he thinks about Tex. Maybe try Dave tate. See what says. Fucking noob.
is this also known as a belly press? seems like he should be lowering the bar somewhere besides down to his belly. when I've done floor presses in the gym we still lower to our chest. I do like the idea of a spotter to hand you the weight though. we kinda just roll the weight onto our chest haha
Crossfit Gym: "Benches are few and far between. Do we have one here?" Of course not, you're a crossfit gym hahaha

shouldn't the end point of the press be directly above his shoulders? with heavy weight there's no way he can maintain the arms in that angle
+nachoijp i feel like if he went any more vertical his scaps would roll forward
+nachoijp It depends on the width of his hands. The forearms should always be perpendicular to the ground.
+nachoijp I said the same thing on Instagram and John Welbourn and one of his cronies were hot on my ass about it.

LOL
I'm not to sure about this. I agre with the "no bench, no problem" idea and also with the tension with the grip. but that angle?

Jeeesus! These comments?! The Power athlete guys are awesome!!
Tex is my hero
Really? Im surprised they put this video up. its incorrect.
+Cody Something How? are you just gonna throw shade or offer solutions?

+David McKercher lol ok bud.
Youre surprised that Crossfit is teaching bad form? That's their M.O. lol
Tex is the man

Without the leg drive, and then it will be a floor press.
What?!
Thaaaaat is not where your xyphoid process is 😂
