EZ-Bar JM Bench Press

The JM press on an EZ-bar; the angled grips turn the wrists in, which suits the tucked elbows the lift needs.

How to do it

Setup

Lying on a bench, EZ-bar on the inner bends over the upper chest.

Steps

Let the elbows fold forward as the bar travels toward the collarbones.
Stop a hand's width short, forearms nearly upright.
Press back up through the triceps.

Common mistakes

Bar landing on the chest: that is a close-grip press; bring it toward the neck line. Elbows flaring out: keep them tucked and pointing forward. Holding the outer bends: this lift wants the close inner grip.

Breathing

Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
