JM Press

How to

Barbell
  1. 1 Lie flat, close grip, bar over the upper chest.
  2. 2 Lower toward the chin by bending the elbows forward.
  3. 3 Press back up to lockout.

Tips

  • It sits between a skull crusher and a close-grip press: the elbows travel forward, the bar toward the chin.
  • Start light; it is hard on the elbows at first.
  • Stop the bar a few centimetres above the chin.

Common mistakes

  • Letting the elbows flare.
  • Bringing the bar down to the face.
  • Heavy loads before the bar path feels natural.
