JM turns off the music. He then whispers to the barbell and listens. Once his whispers have properly echoed off of the barbell and it has told him what he needs , and only then, does he move on to his supplemental work
Been listening/reading JM's stuff since the late 90's. Dude's awesome, very knowledgeable. All that being said, he could make some good money doing voice over work for Hollywood films/tv.
It's just my opinion but I think this video may be best video on just keeping sh$t simple and not over complicating it. Practice like you want to compete..
Does anyone else feel therapeutic relief when these guys start talking about these indepth topics. Lol I do. I love listening to this. These guys truly were and are students of powerlifting. You can tell what a passion it is for them.
this is coming in a bit late but hope its still helpful, he mentioned JM presses for his tricep "tendons". What he's saying is JM presses are a tricep exercise that have a lot of range of motion for the elbows, working the triceps in an expanded range, and the fact he can load that exercise heavy is very beneficial to help keep away tendonopathy/ tendon pain.
I don't know if you got an answer but it isn't the same the slingshot does not make the weight lighter it makes you stronger the bands pick up a certain amount of weight with the slingshot the weight is always the same. Both are great though
pawlakowa paused bench (with or without tempo), paused spoto press, etc. Just focus on movements that target that bottom portion of the lift, which is where you’re missing. Oh, and bench more in general. Like JM said, you get better at what you practice
JM transports souls to the underworld
JM speaks like he's trying not to wake you up from a nap.
There is something hilarious in the way they talk. Kinda reminds of The Mindhunter except instead of murder they talking benching.
😂😂😂
Hahaha, yeah... like he's trying to tell scary stories by a campfire.

The Barbell whisperer..
I don’t powerlift, I’m really just a novice lifter…but I learn a lot from from these guys!
His voice is so soothing

His voice is strangely calming to me. JM was a bad dude on the bench! Respect!

'JM, the Encyclopedia of Bench-Press'
A very wise man

JM is a jacked Yoda.
:p
We need bill kazmaier on this podcast

Excellent
Bench Master: Why am i doing legs? So i quit doing it.
Allen Iverson an exception because he fucking balled in game
Can anyone tell me what the name of the song is at the end of the video and the name of group??
When you say specificity enough times in a row it sounds like gibberish. 🤣
What is the name of thw intro song
Of course he fails at lockout... its a bench shirt what do you expect
Tryinggg to beee a little tooo cerebralll ...... ahhh .
Practice makes Permanent!
I want JM to produce a bedtime stories audio book. His voice is so soothing. Ok, lets get back to the bench.
Hahahahaha
MORE JM BLAKLEY CONTENT!!!!

0:54 The secret of strength is to keep your supplemental movements pretty darn *specicic*
Can't get enough JM.
Quality ASMR.
the only fitness coach who is worth listening. JM BLAKELY
My top 3 variations:
CG with double mini bands
Bottom pin press
JM press
Can’t get enough JM!
Listen you dont get a 600 pound bench by doing only two trisep exersizes
please what did he brush over regards tendon strength for the triceps ? Mine are non existent these days

Wish I watched this before I jacked my elbow up a month ago!
This dude is the next step in my training process that I need
Would using a Slingshot be similar or the same as reverse bands ?
I don't know if you got an answer but it isn't the same the slingshot does not make the weight lighter it makes you stronger the bands pick up a certain amount of weight with the slingshot the weight is always the same. Both are great though
@@multiply765 Thanks
So he gave up training legs? What kind of meets was he doing then? 🤔 Bench Press only?
from memory he says that he had a back injury and hence why he only competed bench and not all 3 lifts.
Lol to put Iverson in it was nuts .BO ONE EVER played harder then him .
JM is the American-human version of Korg
is JM the first guy to justify not doing legs in order to hit chest harder xD
what if i always miss the bench ~2 inches off the chest ?

@@hookgrip4jesus310 thank you
pawlakowa No problem, my dude. Keep plugging away and chasing those gains!
Everything Ryan said + Pin press. Starting at the bottom.
Heavy overhead press, the bottom of the bench uses the shoulder
His best raw was 468?
5 something
520s
He sounds too savage for how calm he speaks
That is what made him the beast of a competitor he was - the yogi of the bench
