Saw my first bodybuilding contest on a dial TV in 1985/86.
Did my first "workouts" with soup cans and a "ghetto blaster" radio (upright rows and overhead tricep ext) in 1992
Got my first plastic/cement weight set & did my first "real" workout Jan '96.
Got certified the first time in 2000, still in H.S. First legit, paying client a week later. (& Had accumulated 6 stacks of FLEX, Muscle & Fitness, Ironman, MM2K.. and a couple issues of Pump each 2ft high, stacked in my closet)
That's 39yrs of being aware and following "weightlifting", and 28yrs "working out" myself, and 24yrs of training others professionally.
Today on Instagram I see some girl talking about how great the "Larsen press" is, while demonstrating the typical V-Spine arch that female powerlifters do when they bench press.
So...... What tf is a "Larsen press"? & Why am I just hearing about it now?

No idea. Probably has another name though.

Are you sure you don`t mean "Bradford Press" ?

A bench press with the feet not touching the floor I believe

This. It's a bench press where your legs are hanging off the bench, and you try to keep them straight out while pressing the bar normally. It's just an old no leg drive bench.
Not sure who "Larsen" is, but his name got connected to it 5 or so years back.

If I ever do any type of flat bench exercises I always take my legs off the floor and cross them
Eliminates any cheating and also stops you potentially arching and popping your low back

Played for man u and celtic

An Insulin Shock bench press is done with only one ass cheek on the bench.
