The jammer exercise is an old school football move that uses a specific machine to simulate a standing press similar to a blocking in football. If you don’t have access to that machine, the makeshift jammer setup is not only a great substitute but provides 10 unique benefits.
Here's NFL athlete & Tampa Bay Bucs Special Teams Captan Kevin Minter on it.Reminder 36 Hours Left to Save $100 off Explosive Power Athlete program🔥🔥, code SPEED100 link below

1. Provides a functional standing press that includes 2 force vectors namely a horizontal force vector & slight vertical force vector. As a result this is very sport specific.
2.Provides a standing press that mimics classic jammer yet includes instability similar to free weights as opposed to jammer machine which involves fixed path & no instability.
3. Allows easy height adjustments to simulate different pressing positions as well as different muscle groups. A lower position will more closely mimic a flat or decline press while adjusting straps higher mimics an incline press.
4.Provides greater versatility & options for standing presses as lifter can perform split stance variations, squatting variations, lunging presses, single arm variations, single leg presses, leg drive variations, split jerk variations, & more.
5.Allows large variety of grip widths to be used based on individual preferences & muscle emphasis.
6.Provides a strength curve that more closely matches that of our body similar to accommodating resistance with more tension at stronger top and less at weaker bottom position.
7. Provides more joint friendly pressing option as strength curve is such that the weaker bottom position is deloaded with less tension relative to the stronger top position.
8.Involves core stabilization & full body motor control.
9.Exposes asymmetries & imbalances as bar will tilt & twist if lifter presses with faulty mechanics.
10.Allows very smooth tension adjustments by simply adjusting body position relative to the axis of rotation. The further out you step the greater the tension. Similarly, stepping back provides significant tension reduction.
