Well, I may not be doing the right but I feel them. I tuck my elbows just as I would do for a close grip...low. I also try to let the bar fall towards my upper chest/clavicle...

That's what it looked like from the vid. From what I could see, it looked like your arms were moving in a similar fashion as a french press, but the bar is in a different place. (That make any sense?)

If I had a dollar for every time I was asked this question i would be a very rich man. The JM Press is named afer JM Blakey. JM trained at Westside for a while and introduced us to a excellent tricep movement that had no name. He made this up in a attemp to target the lower part of the tricep down by the elbow. If you get a chance check this area out on some of the big benchers. The bigger you are in this region the bigger you bench will be.
The movement is a cross between a close grip bench press and a tricep extension. To begin you will need to be using a close or medium grip on the barbell. Unrack the weight the same way you would a close grip bench. As you begin to lower the bar, make sure the bar path is traveling torward you upper chest. Keep the elbows tucked and up. You will only lower about 1/2 the distance to your chest. the key is to make sure the barbell is slighty behind the elbows. That is the barbell should be closer to your head then your elbows. Pause for a split second and press the bar up fists first. you will know if you are doing it right if you feel it is the described area.
