Also called Lying Close-Grip Barbell Triceps Press To Chin
Technique
How to perform JM Press
- Lie on a flat bench and hold a barbell above your upper chest with a secure, roughly shoulder-width grip.
- Keep your elbows angled slightly outward and your upper arms high rather than dropping them beside your torso.
- Bend your elbows to lower the bar under control toward the space between your upper chest and chin.
- End the descent when your forearms approach your upper arms; do not force the bar to touch your neck or chest.
- Extend your elbows to press the bar back to the starting position, keeping its path controlled.
- Reset at the top before the next repetition.
