JM Press

So führst du sie aus

1. 1Preparation and positioning. Use a stable bench, set rack hooks and safety arms, and use a competent spotter for heavy or near-failure barbell work. Secure plates with collars.
2. 2Starting position. Set stable foot and upper-back contact, take the prescribed grip, unrack to straight arms, and hold the load above the shoulder line.
3. 3Eccentric phase. Lower the load under control to the fixed chest, upper-arm, or hover marker while the forearms remain well aligned.
4. 4Bottom position. Reach the same controlled pause, floor contact, or hover distance without bounce; keep the wrists and shoulders centered.
5. 5Concentric phase / lockout. Press the load to stable elbow extension over the shoulder line without bouncing or losing upper-back contact. For the JM press, keep the path between a close-grip press and elbow extension; do not turn it into a free-falling skull crusher.
6. 6Breathing and bracing. Brace before the loaded phase, maintain pressure through the sticking region, and exhale/reset only when the load is stable. Avoid prolonged breath-holding across repetitions.
7. 7Valid rep. A rep uses the same start, depth, pause/hover standard, and lockout with no bounce, spotter contact, unplanned leg drive, or change in load path.

Häufige Fehler

• Losing wrist–forearm alignment

  Korrektur: Stack the wrist over the forearm and adjust grip, handle, or range before adding load.

• Elbows escaping the intended path

  Korrektur: Use a repeatable elbow angle that keeps forearms supportive and shoulders controlled.

• Creating range with the lower back

  Korrektur: Keep ribcage over pelvis and stop at the shoulder range you can own.

• Bouncing or dropping the bottom

  Korrektur: Lower under control to a fixed marker and reverse without rebound.

Sicherheit

• Bei schwerer Langhantelarbeit richtig eingestellte Sicherheitsablagen und/oder einen kompetenten Spotter sowie Hantelverschlüsse nutzen; verlass dich nicht darauf, dass ein Spotter eine technisch unkontrollierte Wiederholung rettet.
• Wähl Last, Bewegungsumfang und Aufbau so, dass eine kontrollierte Rückführung oder ein kontrollierter Ausstieg möglich bleibt; brich den Satz ab, statt trotz scharfer oder zunehmend stärker werdender Symptome kompensierend weiterzutrainieren.

Progressionen & Alternativen

• RegressionTrizepsdrücken am Kabel— Reduce strength, balance, or coordination demand while rehearsing the key pattern before returning to JM Press.
• ProgressionÜberkopf-Trizepsstrecken— Increase load, range, instability, or skill demand after JM Press is repeatable through the planned volume with reserve and no technique drift.
• AlternativeClose-grip Press— Train a similar primary pattern with a different stability, equipment, or joint-loading profile when JM Press is impractical or poorly tolerated.
