JM Press
JM Press is a barbell push exercise for the triceps, and it also works the shoulders. If you cannot do it, Smith Machine Close-Grip Press or Close-Grip Bench Press are good swaps.

How to do it
- Lie on a bench and unrack the bar with a grip just inside shoulder width.
- Lower it towards your upper chest and chin, letting your elbows travel forward.
- Stop when the bar is a hand’s width above your chest.
- Press it back up by straightening your elbows, mostly with your triceps.
Watch out: Flaring your elbows out — keep them tucked and moving forward.
