Reverse-Grip Push-Down



Now, change up the push-downs slightly. Grab an EZ-bar attachment to replace the rope. You can use a straight-bar attachment if an EZ-bar is not available, but the EZ-bar will be more comfortable for your wrists.

Hold the attachment at the ends of the bar with an underhand grip. This targets the medial head of the triceps, while the rope push-down hits more of the lateral head. Perform the reverse-grip push-downs with the same rep scheme and technique as used on the rope push-downs.

Rope Push-Down


Time to blast the triceps again. Grab a rope attachment and set the pulley at the top of the cable tower. Start with your elbows at slightly less than a 90-degree angle and bring the rope down, focusing on moving the weight with your triceps. Get a good squeeze at the bottom before controlling the weight back up to the start.

Follow the previously described protocol, doing 5 slow positive reps, 5 slow negative reps, and blasting the triceps to failure to finish each set.

Cable Fly



Another classic chest movement with a twist! You'll perform your first 10 reps as you normally see this exercise done, pressing forward in a controlled manner. The cables will help you maintain tension on the chest muscles and keep your core braced.

After you complete these, readjust your position so that you are pushing the handles from a wide grip with palms facing down. Instead of bringing the handles out in front of your chest, bring them downward toward the floor until they meet in the center in front of you for another 10 reps.

Triceps Dip



Hop on the dip bar, or use a dip machine if you need assistance on this movement. If you don't have a dip machine, you can also hang a large band across the dip bar handles and rest your knees in it as a way of assisting you in doing the reps with good form.

No matter which setup you use, keep your elbows tucked in close to your body, not flared out, as you perform the downward portion. This will help protect your shoulder joints from being compromised. Once your elbows reach a 90-degree angle, press up through your palms until your elbows are completely extended.

Bench Press


Now you'll move into a compound lift with the classic barbell bench press. Take a grip that's slightly wider than shoulder width—or even wider if that feels more comfortable when you press. Reps 1-5 will be a slow tempo on the eccentric portion of the lift (count 5 seconds in your head), and reps 6-10 will be a slow count on the concentric portion of the lift.

For the bench press, it's important to maintain a tight upper back—this will help make the pressing movement easier and keep your shoulders stable, which helps prevent injury. A useful cue to help you stay tight is to think about "bending the bar" as you bring it down to your chest.

Seated Chest Press


For these, take the same approach as you did with the flyes and perform the 5 slow positives, 5 slow negatives, plus reps to failure. Definitely load up a little lighter than you would for regular sets of seated chest press.

To make sure you aren't pressing only with your anterior delts, pull your shoulder blades together and down, as if you were putting them into your back pocket. Keeping your feet firmly planted into the floor will also give you a more stable base while pressing.
