Want to boost your bench press or build sleeve-stretching arms? Then it’s time to give your triceps the attention they deserve. While skullcrushers, pushdowns, and overhead extensions are gym staples, if you’re looking for a new exercise that’ll deliver serious strength gains and an insane pump, you should try the JM press.
The exercise was created by Strength Coach, JM Blakely, a world record bench presser who achieved a whopping 710lbs PB bench. Speaking in a YouTube video on why he invented the JM press, Blakley says: “I couldn’t recover from two or three tricep exercises and so what eventually happened was I blended a regular tricep extension with a close grip bench press.”
