    Lat pull overs, dumbbell kick backs for triceps, GHRs, Land Mine Viking press, leg press on smith machine, good ole dumbbell hammer curls, dumbbell tricep extensions on the floor. Nobody notices since I have my own gym at home.

    I don't think any of those are forgotten or unorthodox? ... With the possible exception of smith machine leg press... and then only because most commercial gyms have a sled or two... even then I have even seen it done a few times when both sleds at my gym are in use. I'm not familiar with GHR but all the rest are in my rotation. All good basics.

    Feeling like a total millenial right now...I am familiar with what they do/purpose, just never knew the proper name. Reverse preacher curl stand essentially

    Yup. One of my favorite portable gym toys. Works great for pulldowns too.

    Dumbbell High pulls and 3D Crossovers.

    Check out Jeff Cavalier at Athlean X on YouTube. He does those and a bunch of other exercises that are unorthodox.

    I've incorporated the 1 arm dumbbell OHP and I think it's a great movement.

    Great for going heavy with, because you can use two hands to get the dumbbell up.

    Haven't seen it promoted at all as a viable option.

    I am a huge fan of spider curls, cable tricep kickbacks and incline cable flies.

    Two Hands Anyhow, even if it is more of a test than an exercise. Pretty sure that Arthur Saxon still holds the record for it, and it was set in the really early 1900s.
