JM Press
How to JM Press properly, with perfect form and technique! The best triceps exercise to build bigger and stronger arms for the bench press!
Purpose:
- Build Elbow Extension Strength
- Increase Triceps Hypertrophy
Prime Movers:
- Triceps (Arms)
- Anterior Deltoid (Shoulders)
The JM Press is a combination of a Close-grip Bench Press and a Skull Crusher (triceps extension). This is a powerful move that can build brutally strong triceps. However, it can also be very strenuous to the elbow joint.
Be careful when doing this move and do not do it often to allow for your triceps and elbows to recover fully.
How To JM Press Properly
- Lie on a bench and set up as if doing a close-grip bench press.
- Unrack the bar and bring it down, just above your chest.
- Then roll the bar and your arms back to where the bar hovers over your face, and you feel the tension in your triceps.
- Finish by quickly reverse the motion; pulling your elbows back in place near your sides and extending your arms until they reach full lockout.
- This is a combination move where you are combining a close-grip bench press and a triceps extension to build up the triceps using a heavier weight.
