You can perform this lift on a regular flat bench with a barbell.

Dumbbell Chest Press

- Lying on a flat bench, with feet planted on the floor, hold two dumbbells toward the ceiling and slowly lower your arms toward the floor.
- Keeping your elbows soft, reach until your upper arm is even with your shoulder, then return to the starting position.
- Move through your shoulders and not through your elbows.

Dumbbell Chest Fly

- With a bench set to a slight incline - less than 45 degrees - lay back with dumbbells in your hand.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells to your chest.
- Press straight up toward the ceiling, with your feet digging into the floor and elbow 6" from your ribs. Bring the weights together at the top of the movement and lower back down allowing your elbows to come slightly past 90 degrees.

Incline Dumbbell Chest Press

- Attach a rope to the bottom pulley of the pulley machine.
- Grasping the rope with both hands, extend your arms with your hands directly above your head using a neutral grip (palms facing each other). Your elbows should be in close to your head and the arms should be perpendicular to the floor with the knuckles aimed at the ceiling. This will be your starting position.
- Slowly lower the rope behind your head as you hold the upper arms stationary. Inhale as you perform this movement and pause when your triceps are fully stretched.
- Return to the starting position by flexing your triceps as you breathe out.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Cable Tricep Extension

- Start with a bench or chair behind you, hands gripping the edge.
- Slowly lower yourself down until your elbows make a capital "L" then press the bench/chair away to return to the starting position.
- Knees can be bent, or straight

Tricep Dips

1.) Start off standing in front of a cable machine, attaching a rope to the high pulley and grabbing the attachment with an overhand (palms down) grip.

2.) Keeping your abs drawn in, back straight and elbows in at your sides, push the rope down towards your thighs.

3.) As you push down towards your thighs, split the rope apart at the bottom and isolate the tricep muscle.

4.) Hold this position for a count and return back up to the starting position.

5.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.

Tricep Pull-Downs

Using a close grip, lift the bar and hold it with your elbows in as you lie on the bench. Your arms should be perpendicular to the floor. This will be your starting position.
Keeping the upper arms stationary, lower the bar by allowing the elbows to flex. Inhale as you perform this portion of the movement. Pause once the bar is directly above the forehead.
Lift the bar back to the starting position by extending the elbow and exhaling.
Repeat.

Skull Crushers

- Lie back on a flat bench. Using a close grip (around shoulder width), lift the bar from the rack and hold it straight over you with your arms locked. This will be your starting position.
- As you breathe in, come down slowly until you feel the bar on your middle chest. Tip: Make sure that - as opposed to a regular bench press - you keep the elbows close to the torso at all times in order to maximize triceps involvement.
- After a second pause, bring the bar back to the starting position as you breathe out and push the bar using your triceps muscles. Lock your arms in the contracted position, hold for a second and then start coming down slowly again. Tip: It should take at least twice as long to go down than to come up.
- Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.
- When you are done, place the bar back in the rack.
