Need good assistance excercise after bench!!

[vtec96]

What would be a good excersice immediately after flat bench barbell?

I usually do some skull-crushers, close grips, press-downs, and some shoulder db's....... Im mostly training for Strength so need to increase my bench as much as possible......

Thanks for any advise.....

dips

pushups with your hands on a stability ball

Lying dumbell extensions,
bent over rows(or some other lat work),
front raise and rear delt raise,
and something for your rotators

I'll second the dips, its a fantastic exercise.

if your weak link is triceps, i would go for close grip bench presses, i did it and got good results in both size and strength...but

(1) ive only done assistance lift that one time, its the only experience i had, but it worked for me.

If you're training for strength, try droping the flat barbell and go with dumbbells.

dips---------------

I'd do dumbells, but Dips would be my second choice

Thanks for the tips.....

Gotta start the Dips again... stopped for a while....

But .... Can dumbells get you you stronger than the barbell?
I thought dumbells Really helped with the stabilizer muscles mostly ... but other than that they worked mostly the same as the bar?
