The JM Press is a triceps-dominant barbell movement used by FitnessTracker users who want to maximize pressing strength. It’s a great way to challenge your arms without heavy elbow strain.
Instructions
- Lie flat on a bench and grip the barbell with your hands slightly narrower than shoulder width.
- Hold the bar above your chest with your arms fully extended and elbows pulled inward.
- Lower the bar in a controlled motion toward your upper chest, keeping your elbows tucked and letting the bar drift slightly forward.
- When your upper arms are about parallel to the floor, press the bar back to the starting position using your triceps.
- Keep your torso stable and avoid flaring your elbows during the movement.
