First let s be clear about what coaching is.
Floor press rippetoe.
I hit a 335 floor press which is better than my best all time bench press set at a bw of around 265.
Regardless of any of.
The press is traditionally and correctly performed in a standing position with the barbell in the hands and the feet on the floor the seated press is a different exercise entirely.

Keep your back as straight as possible and your chin up bend your knees and slowly lower your hips straight down until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor.
It s the obvious thing to do.
