One Arm Floor Press

A chest and triceps exercise performed while lying on the floor, which helps in improving unilateral strength and stability.

Instructions

• Lie on the floor with a dumbbell in one hand.
• Position the upper arm so it is perpendicular to the body, the elbow at a 90-degree angle.
• Engage the core and press the dumbbell straight up.
• Slowly lower back to the start position.
• Repeat for the desired amount of reps and switch arms.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Allowing the elbow to flare out excessively.
• Not fully extending the elbow at the top of the movement.
• Rushing the exercise and using momentum instead of muscle control.
