tate press I think is the same as an elbows out extension

other good ones are french press -- seated, takea dumbell in two hands, and do an extension behind the head.

JM press -- hard to describe... there are some decent pictures on the web that other guys could direct you to... but you really need to see it done -- it's a lot more simple than descriptions make it sound.

barbell extensions to forehead, eyes, nose, chin, etc.

rolling dumbell extensions, lying on a bench, or on the floor.

dumbell press -- take dumbells lying a bench, and lower them with your elbows tucked right against your body, press back up. Much like a close grip bench, but with dumbells

weighted 1/4 dips

one of my personal favorite is to take an EZ curl bar and load it up really heavy, have a friend hand it to you while you're lying on a flat bench, and then you can do extremely close grip presses without hurting your wrists. This won't work if you have a real big bench press, just because it's impractical to have a friend hand you a 300-400 lb EZ bar.

That's a lot -- other people will have more... you can use any of these effectively for about 4 weeks at a time.

Elbows out extensions start with the bells on your chest...hands are gripping so that knuckles are facing inward.......it's a two handed version of across face db extensions that VInce Gironda was fond of.

Theres a greatly explanatory pic of elbows out extensions floating around the web. I think I saw it in one of the articles on EFS. You can search elbows out extensions on this board and a few threads should come up with links to the pics.

Also, there is an old thread here on the powerlifting board called "strengthening the triceps" or "tricep strength" or something like that, which has several descriptions of elbows out extensions and of JM presses.
