I used the modified French Press that you demonstrated in your latest article in today’s Bench and Overhead Press 5/3/1 session. I must say, this exercise felt phenomenal! I highly recommend it to other T-Nation readers! It does a great job of targeting the long head of triceps, the “meatiest” part …

What did you think about doing the exercise? Did you got more of a pump or a stretch feeling? I tried it a few hours ago and didnt feel a stronger contraction than in skullcrushers, so Im unsure about changing it up.

My fatigued(or inroaded) delts didn’t really factor in at all. I had to modify it slightly because none of the racks in my gym ad…

Did you ‘feel it’ in your lower back at all? My lower back is sensitive to things such as standard military press so I usually belt up if heavy weight. I was intrigued by this exercise though and want to give it a go.
