Alternating Floor Press
A variation of the dumbbell floor press where you alternate arms, enhancing core stabilization.
Instructions
- Lie on your back on the floor holding a pair of dumbbells with an overhand grip.
- Position the dumbbells at your shoulders with your elbows on the ground.
- Extend one arm to push the dumbbell up towards the ceiling while keeping the other dumbbell stationary.
- Pause briefly at the top, then lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
- Repeat the movement with the other arm, alternating sides with each rep.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not keeping the opposite elbow on the ground, reducing support.
- Lifting the off-hand dumbbell, losing focus on the exercised arm.
- Not alternating the arms.
- Letting the back arch off the floor.
