Not sure my JM press form is good - Comments? Video: 115 JM Press

i think everybody does them differently...i didnt think they were supposed to touch your chest though...from what i've read

 

[Deciever1]

the only problem i can see with the JM press is that you flare your elbows up and aruond when you extend back up.. you could also try pausing at the bottom.

as long as your feeling it in your lower triceps (i think) then your pretty much doing it right.

Thanks guys..

I think I'm just going to drop the weight back on my JM's until I feel confident that I'm nailing the form

 

[jeremys]

i always feel it near my elbows..dont know if im supposed to or not. i also do it a different way each time i do them..just slightly different

i was just doing these tonight, as our second movement. Hannibal corrected my form, telling me not to go down so far. once I did that, then tension moved from my elbows to my tris, like it should be.

I ended up maxing out at 188 for 3. That set was a lil shakey, but I think it would have been fine if I hadn't spent so long building up to it.

I'm gonna try them tomorrow.....also gonna switch my upper ME day to tomorrow as well......

Crimson... Looks like your JM's will be fine if you will just stop the bar about 4 inches off your chest.....

 

[b fold the truth]

I'm gonna try them after my contest...
