Not an extra workout but....
At the end of each DE and ME bench training session do timed dumbell presses. Take a weight and for 2 minutes press the dumbell to lockout every 10 seconds. But on the bottom hold the bells staticly (no resting the bells on the chest or shoulders)

The mann,
I like those band pushdowns too! I put a band over my bathroom door and I have a thing where do a set of 15-20 reps every time I have to us that bathroom tha night. That is usually like 3-4 times ater training because of all the water I drink during training and the post workout shake too.

i have really gotten into the stability ball db presses, i asked about them on here, and have done them since..man it pushes the blood through! I use the mini bands, usually the nextday, for recovery..It helps tremendously!! light cardio has actually helped my recovery also!!
Firstly, I do not employ the WSB training methods in my routine so my feelings may be a little different. That being said, I was under the impression that extra workouts were for recuperation. If recuperation is what you are looking for how about ice therapy, deep tissue massage, physical therapy, etc... I have a hard time understanding how constantly tearing the muscle fiber in such a small bodypart as the tricep and never letting it heal is going to be beneficial in the long run. I have nothing bad to say about the WSB guys especially considering all of their successes, but it does seem that they get a lot of bench press related injuries.

Extra workouts come under the heading of 'Active Recovery' vs. ice therapy, dtm, etc., all of which fall under the category of 'Passive Recovery'.
Both are attempting to accomplish the same thing, only through different methods.
