Reverse grip bench press

Step 5: With your elbows tucked in close to your sides, slowly lower the bar down to your lower pecs, and touch down softly
Step 6: Press the bar back up to the start position in a slight backward arc without letting your elbows flare out
Step 7: Don’t lock out your elbows at the top of the rep; keep a bend in your arms, maintaining control of the weight at all times

Reverse grip triceps pushdown
Step 1: Start your reverse grip triceps pushdown by setting a bar attachment (Straight or e-z) on a high pulley machine
Step 2: Facing the bar attachment, grab it with the palms facing up (supinated grip) at shoulder width. Lower the bar by using your lats until your arms are fully extended by your sides. Keep your elbows in by your sides and feet should be shoulder width apart from each other
Step 3: Slowly elevate the bar attachment up as you inhale so it is aligned with your chest. Only the forearms should move and the elbows/upper arms should be stationary by your sides at all times.
Step 4: Lower the cable bar back down to the original starting position while exhaling and contracting the triceps hard
Step 5: Repeat and complete 3-4 sets of 8-15 repetitions

Step 4: Extend your elbows to drive the dumbbells back up until your arms are fully extended, hold this contraction for 1 second.
Step 5: Complete 3-4 sets hitting around 10 or 12 reps
Tricep Rope Pushdown
Step 1: To start your tricep rope pushdown, attach a rope attachment to a high pulley. Grasp the ends of the rope so that your palms are facing inward and your elbows are by your waist. This is your starting position.
