I think ideally your elbows and triceps should touch the floor at the bottom. That's how I've always done them anyway. Strong work nonetheless Happy

floor presses are usually done starting in a racked position of a bench press rather than a bottom position press, but if you can improve the weight lifted whos to say yours is 'wrong' - keep doin em if you think theyll cary over to other lifts noone competes in a standardised floor press

In my experience, horizontal pressing of any sort = shoulder hazard. I've been doing heavy overhead pressing for many years without any issues. I once hurt my shoulder benching 60kg. Plus, when I quit strongman I had a crazy idea about maybe training for a bench comp. Did some floor pressing (off Argos catalogues) in my garage... and got shoulder pain. I will only ever press vertically now. So many powerlifters seem to have f**ked shoulders. If you're a strongman - avoid! Happy

I bench all my weights now close grip. Have a comp in a couple weeks and I'm going to bench close grip. Probably lift a bit less but no shoulder problems lifting this way for me.
