Larsen Press
Chest
Barbell
Intermediate
THE CUE
Bench press with your legs straight out and feet off the floor. Removing leg drive isolates your chest and builds raw upper body pressing strength.
MUSCLES WORKED
Pectoralis Major
Also: Anterior Deltoid, Triceps Brachii
COACH'S NOTE
Feet up, legs straight, strict press
How to do it
01
Lie on a flat bench and retract your shoulder blades as usual. Instead of planting your feet, extend your legs straight out in front of you or let them hang just above the floor.
