Dumbbell Floor Press

Grab your dumbbells and lay flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground (use a bench if you have one). Press the weights up, locking out your elbows (A). Lower them slowly until your upper arms are resting on the floor (B) close to your body. Pause here before explosively pressing back up. Squeeze your chest hard and repeat.
