Barbell JM Press
Lie back on a flat bench and unrack a barbell with a shoulder-width grip, holding it over your chest like a close-grip bench press. Lower the bar by hinging at the elbows so it travels toward your upper neck or chin, keeping your elbows tucked and forearms close to vertical. When the bar reaches the bottom, press it back up by aggressively extending your elbows. The JM press is a hybrid of a close-grip bench and a skull crusher that loads the triceps heavily.
