Could you please post your raw bench and floor press 1 rep maxes?
Bench - No bouncing, bar must have touched chest
Floor Press - again no bouncing (off the floor), pause at the bottom before going into the actual press
raw bench with a pause at chest -520lbs
floor press-never maxed but have done 515 for a double with legs out straight.
Nobody (myself included) wants to follow you Meat 
I follow you meat but I will do it whilst hanging my head.
Bench PR - 365lbs
Floor Press PR - 315 feet flat.
raw bench(without suit) is 429 and floor never maxed,did 5 with 352.
285 bench, 300 smith floor press
17 yrs old
I can’t give an exact number, but I’d estimate my floor press to be at least 15% lower than my bench press.
My arms are relatively long, this thread makes me think that I should make my floor press a priority and I might see some significant improvements in my bench (I stall halfway up with heavy weight).

Probably done with wrist wraps and elbow sleeves. I doubt you’d push over 300 without all that gear.

you may want to get on a strong cycle of antibiotics first.
Then you can find out about the flying squirrel.

are you doing the floor press with legs out straight, no arch and pausing the weight with the upper arms on the floor?
