Weighted dips & Lying Triceps Extensions are great assistance exercises for the bench.

Also, not sure how you're working up to your PR but whatever you're doing, switch it up. Consider throwing in some drop sets to get you over the hump.

Make sure you're eating plenty and resting enough.


One more thing, if it's not already, make sure that the OHP is part of your program.

Where are you failing, at the initial press or at lockout?

For most people I recommend weighted dips and thank God someone mentioned lats. Not many people realize how integral your back is while benching. Learning how to engage your back and lats prior to descent is huge.
