Workout routine comments

incline dumbell press is where you lie on the workout bench which is on an inclined plane (usually 45 degree angle) and are using the dumbbell as if you were bench pressing. Elbows at about shoulder height and pushing ("pressing")away from the chest. Close-grip pulldown - when you have the lat pull down machine (you sit upright and there is a long horizontal bar which is over your head). Keep you hands close to the middle of the bar, sit on the bench and pull it down to about shoulder height, then re-extend your hands up over your head. Lower back extensions involve a machine that goes behind your back (there will be a pad that you put your stomach/waist on). You will usually be bent over and will have to sit up, pressing your back against the weighted pad. Finally, knee tucks - kind of a reverse sit up. Instead of sitting up (or crunching), you sit on the floor at a 45 degree angle (you can either have your hands on the floor, or for increased difficulty, put them behind your head) and bring your knees in to your chest.

i have no idea what the "incline dumbbell press," "close-grip pulldown," machine low back extensions," or "knee tucks' are. I would really like to know though. Could someone help me out here? PLEASE!
