@trainerman1 It's JM Blakely, the guy the exercise is named after.

I've never been good at identifying people but this dude looks like Dave Tate...is that who this is? If it is...wow, how long ago was this?

the JM press is a pressing movement, skullcrushers A.K.A the french curl is an extension exercise. you can handle more weight with the JM press than you would with skullcrushers.

I started weightlifting back in the late 70's & early 80's
what you are describing here has been referred to as a French curl.
And has existed in this form since at least the early 1900's this is nothing new
to weight lifting this is just rediscovering the past.... and putting your name on it

Where is JM now? does he still compete?
-
what would be the best tri exercise? the JM or the Skull crusher
-
I'm an "old-school" RAW presser & I still learned an INCREDIBLE amount from JM's video. (I bought this video many, many years ago myself!) COOL!!
-
this is really interesting. i think i'll give these a go. think i'll forget putting some serious weight on though until i get the form 100%

Yes, with perfect form as described loads are much lighter than when the form is varied by letting the elbows drop some. It's really good to train both ways IMO.

Wow... did these yesterday as part of my upper body strength w/o (after 2 board press). I could only do sets of 6 at the BAR and sets of 3 at 55 lbs and my 1RM in the bench press is 175 (60 kg female). Sad. definitely working on form... elbows to ceiling hard to maintain throughout the set.

This is a difficult movement to do properly, especially at first and with heavier loads. For now focus of maintaining technique and worry about loads later. I would say you are fine starting w/ the bar. Nothing wrong with that.
