I have seen a video that shows how to do it on the net. Maybe Irishpower has one at growordie.com he seems to have almost everything else, I would be surprised if he did not have that as well.
also, do a search for JM presses on this board, I am sure there are some threads about it, I have responded to many questions about how to do them in the past.
Learn how to do them, and make them a major part of your tricep training. JM"s and 5 board press, are my 2 favorite tricep exercises. They won't build bodybuilder arms, but they will build a hell of a lockout.

JM Press: This exercise is like a close grip bench press mixed with a tricep extension. Start the exercise the same way you would a close grip bench press except lower the bar direction to your upper chest, about half way down rotate the bar back toward your head about two inches then press it back up.
you really ought to see someone do these. maybe irishpower can make u video of what they look like. i dont think i have seen them on his site.

That was it. A side shot would be better. Just grip like a close grip bench, bring the bar down to your upper chest, and stop it 6 inches or so off the chest and drive it straight back up. I used to try and roll the bar back an inch and go back up, but I no longer think this is necessary.
You will hit the long head (the lockout head) by doing it the way I have described. Keep the bar in a straight line, stay over upper chest/neck, use pretty heavy weights, keep reps in the 3's and 5's, and for the love of god, use a spotter or do it in a rack. If you are not doing it heavy enough to kill yourself if you make a mistake then you are not going heavy enough.

So its almost a combination of barbell tri extentions and a close grip bench?
I'm basically lowering the weight as if performing a normal close grip bench press...then, half way, doing a tri extention with it sort of ?

Sort of, grip it like a close grip bench. I go a thumb from the smooth, some go a finger on the smooth, whatever works for you. I have heard something like 10 percent tricep extension and 90 percent press.
I probably do more like a 100 percent press. By stopping the bar where you do, and keeping it high up on the chest or on the neck, you try to make it to where it is just the triceps doing the work.

Ted Arcidi did these in the eighties, with a e-z curl bar, but go all the way to the chest..i do this, laying on the floor, and use chains!!! They are awesome!! you can even lay on a bench, and do them put a heavy dumbell directly under the bench and hook the bands to it!! Ted Arcidi had a special made e-z curl bar for these, so he could pile the weight on, i went to a seminar he had, he did 5 plates!!
benchmonster: i did these tonight after speed for a few sets of five. i normally bring the bar down then tilt then press which is a very strange movement but tonight i concentrated on the way you described and good god does it work the lockout. i thought my triceps were going to jump out of my arms. this made the exercise alot tougher.

Po3tic,
Glad I could help. I love them the way I do them. I have heard people say that if you are doing above a certain percentage of your raw max then you are doing them wrong, but I don' t buy it. Do it where it hits the triceps the most with the most weight possible is what I say.
I commonly go over 300 lbs with this movement for reps. It will build up the invisible triceps head like a madman. This is what locks out heavy bars, not the horseshoe you can see.

I also heard to try to roll the bar back 1-2 inches, but now im gonna try it without. One question: what would be the best placement for the elbows while doing this press? I heard 45 deg. out, and some say more facing forward making it more of a true tricep press??benchmonster said:

sorry guys.... no jm press videos on my site yet.
honestly, i dont know what one is. maybe ill learn and incorporate them into next training cycle.
i actually dropped all direct tricep work except dumbell extensions and pushdowns (both with and without bands).
since getting rid of barbell extensions, my elbows seemed to never hurt anymore and my bench didnt suffer.
take care.
