JM Presses?

What are they?

good question never heard of them?

where did you hear about them?

I think it was posted in the "Chest Workout Critique" thread in the Workout forum. It was a reply by Billy Bathgate if I remember right. However it seems to have disappeared.

OK got it:

It's in the first reply by Billy Bathgate.

:scratch: not any chest exercise that Ive heard of

its great, but its more of a tricep movement

i cant seem to find a good picture of one at the moment

but you could think of it of a combined close grip/skull crusher in a way

basically you start as a close grip (elbows tucked at your side, not flailed outwards like a regular press) then you come down straight, when you get down, then you roll the bar forward (like your about to drop it on your face and then go up a tad)

if you looked at it from the side, it would look like the letter J movement

ill try and find a video though

good illustration, but quite different in how i was taught to do them

if you hit the movie player part using the arrow keys on the cartoon to change illustrations

i would go back, back, forward, forward

they do the J backwards and the weight shouldnt start over your head but down towards your lower sternum more

ive seen different people do it different ways thoguh

in fact, i think what they are calling JM presses are really california presses...bought the same, just the J is switched around
