When teaching the position of the body in a floor press, I like to have folks get under the bar and do a HUGE hip extension. As the participant feels their weight on their traps and back of the head I can get them to understand the idea of "Putting their shoulders into their back pockets and grabbing the floor with their shoulder blades." Once they get that tightness figured out, I have them SLIDE their legs along the floor until their glutes just graze the surface. Putting a stop right there usually will gave the presser in the right position. Then, "bend the bar" becomes my last verbal cue.
Today was a great day as EVERYONE did a least five pounds more than last week. It might have been because I made everyone add a 2.5 lbs to each side before they began and "forget about it being there". haha
