I think I mistake I have made in my training last few years is being to specific, and doing to few accessories. If I have learnt anything from the Westside/conjugate boiz at our gym, it is that accessories can and should be given a bit more attention. I think that at some point as you progress in training age, adding more muscle mass might help get through those plateaus

I've been giving the JM press a go recently... took a bit of research to find out how they're different to California Press haha.. Do you basically keep your elbows facing upwards, and just lowering the bar towards the neck (not reaching all the way), just focusing on getting full elbow flexion at the bottom? I'm trying to figure out whether there's supposed to be any slight upper arm movement or angle change... I think they flare forwards a bit when I do them...
