JM Press

Strengthen your triceps with this hybrid between a press and extension.

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

  1. Lie flat on a bench and grip the barbell with your hands slightly narrower than shoulder width.
  2. Hold the bar above your chest with your arms fully extended and elbows pulled inward.
  3. Lower the bar in a controlled motion toward your upper chest, keeping your elbows tucked and letting the bar drift slightly forward.
  4. When your upper arms are about parallel to the floor, press the bar back to the starting position using your triceps.
  5. Keep your torso stable and avoid flaring your elbows during the movement.
