JM Press Continued...

It's funny, these days the tenets of powerlifting go against what everybody learns as a newbie in the gym: slow, controlled movements.

Also, just because something is a powelifting exercise it doesn't mean bodybuilders can't use it. I got elbows-out DB extensions from a powerlifter and may they target the triceps like nothing else for me!

Chuck V. get all the credit in the world from me. That was just a copy and paste from the article that I posted. As you can tell it is an old article. If you are FAST...you can become STRONG!!!

BB's would be WISE to add PL training techniques, ESPECIALLY ACTIVE RECOVERY, to their program. Strength ---> size...train for strength and use less gear.

 

[b fold the truth]

I love pull throughs, dbell cleans (for rotators), and the bands. They have put more mass on my back, hams, and shoulders than anything that I have done in years.

If you don't care about strength...then no one says that you can't do them slower. Give them a try...they all hurt..lol

Active recovery is probably MORE advantageous to BB's than PL's, yet PL's are the only people I see doing it. If I told you I had a syringe full of something that would help you recover twice as fast AND increase your strength AND put size on you, and the bonus was that you didn't have to worry about it re-ripping your fibers and interfering with recovery/hypertrophy from your previous workout, no matter how often you did it....you'd be asking me for a source.

And you dont have to dip into your childrens college fund as the only thing it costs you is TIME....and you dont have to worry about the DEA...or your mom or significant other finding your "stash".

Just did JM presses for the first time yesterday. Really works the tris if you can keep your elbows in. For me, getting the form down was pretty tricky, and I'm still not sure I was doing them completely right.

Back up again...

After doing JM's again this week, I'm still not sure of the form. Did some searching, and found this description:

Lie on a bench - this is very important.

Take a close grip with the beginnings of the knurlings.

Take the bar at arms length like the start of a close grip bench.

Put the elbows out at a 45 degree angle - this is VERY important - must be 45 no more and no less.

At this angle you take the shoulders out of the movement and it also allows a greater weight to be used.

As the bar descends to the chin or throat, keep the elbows following a line of 45 degrees from the body. Note: the elbows must not drop below the rib cage. They must remain up towards the heavens or the ceiling for those that train indoors.

When you get it right the bar will stop as the forearm rests on the bicep. IF your elbows are up and you get it right, the bar will sort of hang there above your face as your bicep(resting on forearm) and the tricep tendon supports the weight. He noted that it may help to keep the wrist "cocked" at the bottom (ie flexors contracted)

After that just press straight up in the same path as you descended...Well, not YOU but the bar.
