I ve got some highly developed opinions on that as i do with most things.
Floor press rippetoe.
First let s be clear about what coaching is.
Now push your tits toward me.
Classic editor history.
But let s say just for the sake of argument that the time taken from bench press training drops your bench from 300 to 275 while it brings your press up to 185 from exactly shit.
I hit a 335 floor press which is better than my best all time bench press set at a bw of around 265.
The bar is laying there on the floor looking at you as if to say press me over your head.
Remember that the kinetic chain is the all the musculoskeletal components between the load on the bar and the base of support the ground.
That gives you a press bench press ratio of 0 67 or about 2 3 press to bench a decent strength distribution and a much better place to be when your bench goes to.

The press is traditionally and correctly performed in a standing position with the barbell in the hands and the feet on the floor the seated press is a different exercise entirely.
While coaching her bench press.
Regardless of any of.
It s the obvious thing to do.
Keep your back as straight as possible and your chin up bend your knees and slowly lower your hips straight down until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor.
That s just as cool right.
To be honest atg ss to the grass squats work the best imo.
