wtf are u doing. thats a tricep extension NOT a JM press. What your doing is a good way to bust your skull if ever stop being a pussy and use real weight. A JM press comes down straight and then tilts back but you'r shoulders should never rotate.

@chucktruck1 Real weight? I bench over 300 for reps biatch. It's called a form vid for a reason.

Looks pretty good. Hard to tell from this view, need to see it from the front or rear, to watch your elbows. If they flare out or come in, it's wrong.

One thing you are missing is your aren't cocking your wrists at the bottom of the movement. That's an important characteristic to give the stress the jm press is supposed to provide.

Thank you for the reply!

I thought elbows were to flare out slightly on the JM press? I remember watching a very long video where JM showed the JM press and he said elbows could flare out somewhat.

I also roll my wrists towards my body, are they to go away and up?

wtf that is not a jm press that is a skullcrusher a jm press the bar shouldnt move back jus up and down

There is no real way of doing correct form on the JM press. It is a personal thing. But what you are doing is more of a scull crusher? Try bringing it down to your chest more, then bring it up to your neck area, then push it up. This is what I do, it works for me.

richie boy. thats a skullcrusher: its not a press since the bar isnt going just up and down. DONT JERK IT, that will give you tricep tendonitis. (itl fuck your elbow)

[freejumptraining]

looks more like a tricep skull crusher type of movement.

Epic failed , thats the french press lol

[nickasher1]

looks like a skull crusher to me

P.S been doing this for only 6 weeks and my lower triceps (right above the elbow) have BLOWN up......the lower long head to be specific.......i.e the part of the tri that hangs down on a double overhead bicep flex close to the elbow....

keep elbows high and let forearm fold onto bicep and pause at bottom in "tight" power position then press back up imagining you are pulling bar apart...

to those that say you can't isolate a portion of a tricep head....look at MD Jose antonio's research

[cpdaman]

that was pretty good form Richie

the only thing is the knuckles are supposed to be pointed toward the ceiling.........this is supposed to give you a more powerful positioning ...so that you can press more weight ....and put more tension on the triceps tendon....

[frankatwestern]

youre doing a collar-bone-crusher, looks like bitch on the wrists. more press and less fixation on keeping the elbows static

Need to have your knuckles pointing to the ceiling... pretend punching the sky...

do not roll wrists and someone else had commented.
