JM Press Continued...

[BlkWS6]

I was searching the forums here again, and came across someone who provided this link. So far I think it is the best video, and description of the JM Press that I was able to find. I know B Fold and others have been looking for some more info on this lift, hope it helps. If this has been seen already extensively, sorry for the repetition. http://www.bootydown.com/freaks/main_assistance.htm

Powerlifters i highly recommend learning this lift. This lift alone has added alot of weight to my benches.

Bodybuilders i highly recommend this lift also. With a little variation. Use the same grip width. Keep your elbows out at about 45 degrees. And keep your wrists cocked all way through the movement. This will hit your tris bigtime.

Dont start out to heavy on this for the first few workouts. And i dont give a shit if youve been doing a ton of skull crushers or any other tri exercises. It will hit your elbows and tris a different way big time.
And your gonna have sore elbows if you dont work up.

Sore.

After viewing the video from the link provided on JM Presses, I do not understand the difference between those and close-grip bench presses. Is there one?

Take notice of the bar placement in relation to the elbows. The bar needs to stay closer to the head, and not inline with the elbows. Basically bring it down like a close grip, but let your elbows pivot forward, so that the bar drifts back towards your head/neck more (this is the extension-like part of the exercise), I like to stop when my forearms come in contact with my biceps, which is just about the half way point. If you watch a normal close grip, the bar pretty much stays inline with the elbows. Now this could be wrong, but I feel it a ton in my tri's, but dont go too heavy, because as stated in the video, you will start to feel it more in your chest and delts.

Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like something I'll need to practice.

I don't know who these guys are, but the "side lateral" demonstration looking like total bullshit. The guy isn't moving the weight, he's just rotating it.

I'd love to hear from some trainers about this one.

Those pull throughs were THE MOST OBSCENE FUCKING THING I've even seen.

What is the benefit of doing Partial Deads at such a rapid pace? Looks like a good way to hurt yourself.
