How to do Decline Close Grip Floor Press
Lay on the ground, placing your feet flat and bending your knees to create a decline for your upper body. Hold the dumbbells closely together so their sides touch, with palms facing towards your feet. Press the dumbbells straight up, keeping them in contact. Lower back down with control, ensuring the dumbbells remain touching.
Common mistakes
Allowing the dumbbells to separate during the movement. Using momentum rather than maintaining controlled motion. Failing to keep the palms consistently facing the feet.
Breathing
Exhale as you press the dumbbells upwards. Inhale as you return them to the starting position.
