Thanks, I think I'm going to keep going on upper but deload the lower. I've just been going heavy on lower a little too frequently. I suppose its also been around 6 weeks since my last one so its time.

However I did notice that my ass comes off the floor when I do this. My power goes up considerably when I let it come up. What are your thoughts on this>?
I don't think it defeats the purpose of the lift if your ass comes off the floor. However, it wouldn't be a good idea to raise so high that you would gain more of an advantage than you would have on a normal bench press. You would lose some carryover to bench press. Those are my thoughts anyway. Someone else might have a different take.

What are you weighing now?

I didn't weigh today but I'm thinkin around 188 or 189.

I agree with what you said about bench. I was just having trouble with floor press because my feet are so high up (relative to bench) that its hard to get used to. I just want to drive my feet into the floor and then welll.... my ass comes up.

You know what makes floor presses harder is if you keep your legs straight.

But if you do bend to drive your feet into the floor ( which is fine ) and you find your ass coming up , just stop and think about it for a bit. I think it becomes more of a mental thing at that point.
