no order ...
1) close grips
2) wide grips
3) military press
4) tricep extensions

[ZZuluZ]

Just my very humble opinion....

1.) Close Grips
2.) Lockouts
3.) Cambered Bar Presses and/or dumbell presses
4.) Rows
5.) Tri extensions
6.) External rotations

[CytoMel]

Reverse band presses, preacher curls, ez bar tri ext, 12 oz beer curls are all really effective for bench press work.

 

[brianmincher]

Declines, board presses, rack lockouts, dumbell tricep extensions, elbows out dumbell tricep extensions.

Board Presses...and do all of your flat work with a close grip.
