ok i just started doing them. i think i have it right now. before i was doing a paul dicks press, which i have to say seems cool but even when done very strict, does bother my elbows. i reall notice this tenderness when i try to bench heavy a few days later. my elbows feel tender though not really bad pain, just feel like they are a bit beat up.
ok, well i normally can bench press around 275x6 for two sets. my close grips best is 255x7 and 285x1 (this was done after military presses though). when doing the jm press i was lowering the bar to about the very upper pecs/almost collarbone area. i only could do like 185x5 and it was pretty hard. i will next time probably stick to 175 for a little while to get used to it...is this really weak for JM press?
i know this varies, but what would be a good goal for JM presses, compared to regular bench?
