Do you pause your floor presses?

so I knew that this would also work nicely with the floor presses..not something I'd want to try on an ME day thoughComment

what does floor presses help you do? I remember iron addict had me doing them.Comment

It is just a different pressing motion that focuses more on the top portion of the bench. Remember that many pl'ers use a shirt and the bottom portion isnt as essential to train as the last half of the press.Comment

...that and I like anything with a pause for increasing explosiveness...also I like to add some variety in my training for an overall systemic effect.
I used to think at one time that partial range movements had no place in a raw lifter's workout..However, I have changed my thinking. Partial range movements are benificial for overloading specifice sticking points in a lift.
Plus the floor presses give the added element of taking the legs drive out of the movement to isolate more of the pressing muscles...
So they do have their usefulness for raw lifters. :headbangeComment
