JM Press: how to do it and form tips

A hybrid between a skull crusher and a close-grip bench press invented by JM Blakley. Allows heavier loading for triceps mass.

Form tips

Lower the bar toward your upper chest/chin area, not your forehead.
Elbows travel forward slightly — a mix of pressing and skull crushing.
Start lighter than you think — it's more technical than it looks.
