Surface Preparation: Clean surface using pH-neutral cleaner or power-wash, rinse and allow to dry thoroughly before application. Ideally the surface should have been dry for a few days to ensure there is no moisture trapped underneath before sealing. For best adhesion, the surface can be lightly sanded with a soft grit sandpaper or etched using SlipDoctors Maintain Grip.

In the below section we discuss the various strength, power, and fitness athletes who can benefit from integrating the floor press within strength and accessory training programs. Minimise workplace trips and slips with our full range of anti-slip products. Whether you need anti-slip tape for stairs, gritted plates for industrial gangways or durable cleats for industrial machinery, we have a full range of anti-slip materials and safety equipment. Many lifters may not know what the floor press is, mainly because it’s popular among hardcore strength athletes. The thing is, anyone — from a gym newb to a seasoned vet — can benefit from this pressing variation. So, we’re going to show you how to do the floor press, along with variations, and outline the benefits. Conformable anti-slip tape adopts the profile of chequer plate and will not lift or rise off. Once it is pressed into place on uneven surfaces, conformable taperemains in that shape and resists lifting. In the event lifters have issues with their shoulder while pressing, simply cutting down the range of motion in any horizontal press motion can ease up on the shoulders while still providing a good stimulus. In addition to neutral-grip pressing, which also reduces shoulder strain due to joint positioning, the floor press can be done in place of the bench press on pressing days.

Even when wet, your slippery floor’s slip resistance after the non-slip solution will surpass ANSI A137.1, A326.3 or B101.3 standards. This anti-slip tape feels more like rubber, which makes it appealing to the touch while giving exceptional levels of grip, plus we slightly alter the embossing pattern of the upper surface. Floor Grip is an extremely tough and highly durable urethane anti slip coating for floors. Developed over 10 years Floor Grip non slip is ideal to protect indoor wood and synthetic surfaces. Once dried the non-slip coating can handle 2 years or more of intense foot traffic and at the same time protect your floor from scuffs, scratches, and even chemicals. Not only does GripX increase the slip resistance of the surface but at the same time will seal the tile or stone surface to prevent water damage, scuff marks and scratches. The textured grit finish is completely barefoot and paw-friendly making it perfect for slippery bathrooms, showers, kitchens or smaller kitchens, patios and balconies.

Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned. *Not required* For increased adhesion by sanding use a maroon pad or 320-400 grit sandpaper to lightly scuff the floor.

While the floor press is limited in range of motion at the shoulder joint, the chest muscles are still used (just less than in a normal bench press) to perform the lift. Triceps SlipDoctors GripX is a durable anti-slip coating specifically formulated to increase the slip resistance on tiles, natural, stamped, and stained concrete, sealed surfaces, and most other natural stone. GripX is an easy-to-apply roll on coating that once cured has a semi-gloss textured finish and can be used indoors or outdoors. Sample Testing: Before initial treatment, test on one tile in an inconspicuous area of your floor. Thoroughly clean and dry the test tile. Spread a small amount of the solution completely over the test tile and note the time. Every 30 seconds use a rubber-soled shoe to apply downward pressure and try to slide the shoe along the treated surface. DO NOT LET STONE GRIP DRY ON THE SURFACE. When you feel you have achieved the level of slip resistance you desire, rinse the test tile with the prepared neutralizer. Make note of the total amount of time you left the solution on the tile. Typically, this time will be between 5-15 minutes. This is not a case where longer treatment time is better. It is important not to over-treat the surface. As soon as there is a reasonable resistance to the pressure of the shoe, you should apply the neutralizer. You can perform multiple tests if you are unsure of the initial test results.Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and prepared by appropriate sanding methods. Using a maroon pad or 320-400 grit sandpaper is recommended to lightly scuff the floor. Prior to the coating application, remove all dust from floor and surrounding structures. Always protect neighbouring surfaces including carpet, metal and other surfaces. Slips and trips in the workplace The HSE has a number of guidelines on the responsibilities of employers to maintain flooring safety in the workplace. According to the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, it is your responsibility as an employer to ensure the safety of employees and visitors to the workplace, and this includes ensuring that the flooring is safe and that slip-prone areas are well-marked. Prior to the coating application, remove all dust from floor and surrounding structures. Always protect neighboring surfaces including carpet, metal and other surfaces.

Step 3: Once ready for full application, determine the number of coats you plan to apply. Prepare a solution for each coat separately in a sturdy container. Add the appropriate amount of Crosslinker to the container, dividing it between the containers for each coat. NOTE: Once Crosslinker is added to the FloorGrip, the solution must be applied to the floor within 4-6 hours. CAUTION! MIX WELL BEFORE APPLYING!

Our standard anti-slip tape offers high traction and durable protection underfoot for light to medium pedestrian foot traffic for steps, stairs, and walkways. The floor press is a pressing movement used to increase the size, strength, and performance of the upper body, specifically the triceps and chest. Below are the primary muscles used, in the floor press movement: Pectorals (Chest) Below are three floor press alternatives coaches and athletes can use to increase chest and triceps strength and muscle hypertrophy.
