I coached a young guy a couple months ago who was struggling with his bench. We added just some simple triceps pressdowns and his bench press plateau disappeared. He discovered his weak link. He's going to love these exercises you shared. Also close grip pushups to failure after a bench press workout will blow up your triceps as well. Subscribed!

@@based8223 "that's just junk volume after you've already fatigued the muscles" Not necessarily, it's not as black and white. Triceps can typically handle more volume than most muscles in the body. Doing additional triceps work at the end of a bench session isn't necessarily junk volume. It depends on how much volume was done during the bench session to determine if it's junk volume or not and how wide of a grip was used for benching. There's even some contention on whether regular (medium or wide grip) benching even counts as a full set for triceps, so doing diamond push ups at the end of a bench session could count as additional volume towards the triceps without it counting as "junk volume". "You must be skinny." I've typically heard this said towards science based lifters.

@@ShyBoy6ty9 A year isn't that long actually. I was in the 275 to 285 range for years, then found my strength just shot up in the last few years and was able to about 35 to my max in a short time and rep my previous max 3 times. Not sure why exactly, but sometimes strength just comes, even if you have been lifting heavy for 30 years. Hoping to get beyond 3 plates this year. I've done 140kg clean and a pretty sloppy 315, which I don't really count. I suppose I could add some quick pounds to my 170 pound frame and get there, but I look like a blowfish at 180, so that's not a great option for me, lol.

Was in same boat. First time I hit 275lb was Nov 2022 then hit 315lb in Dec 2023 (never been athletic or whatever, if that matters). Ever since going to bench 3x or 4x a week programs and slightly increasing BW, my bench shot up regardless of accessories. I also switched to RPE style training, so I was able to work under heavier loads more often when I felt good that day. As for accessories, kept them simple like Larsen, Tempo, Close Grip, DB presses. I'd suggest looking at the PRs Performance (general strength) or Brazos Valley (peaking) Free programs as I think they're designed very well. Point I wanted to make is, before picking good programs, the programs I was on were mediocre and I would spam all the diff accessories (including the ones in this video) and it wouldn't help. Wasted most of my year with that. Just increasing bench frequency, spending more time doing bench specific movements (CG, larsen, etc), and more exposure to the 80-90% range helped the most. Check out those programs if you haven't already.

Your form of press JM helps me a lot, it's the only way I tried where I never feel pain and I feel strong. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

Never heard of these movements. Solid video!

Ve been doing the last bench exercise for almost 2 months,great increase in ohp and bench,getting me back to my all time bests when it comes to working sets and prs. Recently started implemented the other exercises as well so hope they do pay off as well.

Best I've heard in a long time, Respect

Overhead EZ bar stuff worked nice, but the narrow bench was a game changer to improve the control of the bar coming down, which led to a better bench and less shoulder issues

I had a slight tear in my pec mid last year and during recovery I prioritized back and triceps (I stick on lockout). My bench has absolutely exploded, JM press has been a game changer. Hammer triceps for big bench

I miss doing heavy ass barbell rows...thanks for reminding me haha. Hope the perc tear is recovered though man. Any injury sucks. Broke my right hand and couldn't lift at all for about 6-8 months without severe pain and stiffness in my pinky finger. Not 100% but I make due.

this was 100% my problem. Since i dont max out the cables i use those for over head extensions and it definitely helps. added like 3 reps to my bench just from more serious tricep workouts. Dips unfortunately dont hit them as hard as i would have liked but isolation or close grip are my go to

Didn’t understand what the second one you mentioned because I only speak English, but it looked seriously good.

JM press definitely helped me when my bench was decent. Main thing I would suggest is shoulder work though. Triceps of course, however pressing is about angles. If your can press heavily, for you overhead, (shoulder press of your choice) it will directly transfer to your bench.

So knowledgeable!!! Thanks for sharing your tips. I am at 134 lbs Bench press...will try your tips to get massive triceps.

Would you ever make videos of form breakdowns with tips and tricks? Like bench, squat, deadlift, etc.

Very interesting! Thanks for the tips. What do you think of the dips?

Doing static holds will increase your bench for a fact so if your stuck on 200 something wanting to hit 300 hold 300 plus highest you can hold it and just static hold long as you can focus on that you will get results

Thanks for that info 👍

Dips are the best tricep exercise and one of the best chest exercises

I have been waving the Kettlebell extensions (incline/flat/Tate-style) that I've seen you doing and they have both blown up my tricep strength but also fixed 90% of my elbow aches. Repping the 20kg's now after a few weeks and my bench has never been this explosive or healthy! Great stuff

And then I’m going to go to Burger King and order 3 whoppers and wonder why not one person asked me how much I bench then tell a random person that when I went to the gym this morning….. pretty much just went so I could say “when i went to gym this morning.”

Wow I have never seen these exercises

Thoughts on floor press and pin presses?

The close grip striaght bar is probablly the most important out of those 3. This exercise got me to the 600 lb club (raw). Close gripping 405.

funny. ill be 40 this year and over the past 10+ years in the gym my back shoulders and biceps have all been injured to point of needing medical intervention. clicking in shoulders swelling in back tendonitis and arthritis. but with training triceps properly im still bench pressing near 400 lbs daily while barely weighing 200 lol. triceps are key to the bench !

Rolling DB extensions... RIP Louie I'm convinced after watching a lot of KZread videos on the Jm press, I'm convinced the only person that can do the Jm press correctly is Jm himself...🤣 When I do them I kinda just end up getting close but having the bar path where I personally can feel it the most in my triceps
