Barbell Jm Bench Press

Target
Triceps

The JM press blends a close-grip bench press with a skull crusher, stopping partway through the descent rather than lowering all the way to the forehead. That hybrid range keeps constant tension on the triceps without the joint stress of a full skull crusher. It takes some practice to find the right stopping point, so start light until the groove feels natural.

How to Do the Barbell Jm Bench Press

  1. Lie flat on a bench with your feet flat on the ground and your back pressed against the bench.
  2. Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  3. Lower the barbell to your chest, keeping your elbows tucked in close to your body.
  4. Push the barbell back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
