JM Presses and Heavy Rowing.
And 30minutes of intense flexing at the end of each workout.

For me, since my bench is so shitty, I've been working on getting everything stronger. Tons of triceps, dumbbell work, lats, upper back. Shirt work has seemed to help my lockout a bunch so now I'm working on hopefully bringing up the lower portion with heavy dumbbell pressing.
As far as 1 accessory, I'd say get bigger. My theory is, I'm not going to bench 400 at 200 BW with 16" arms (I'm about 6' tall), so while I'm doing everything I can to get stronger, I'm also working on getting bigger.

Was this an intentional typo? I enjoyed it, regardless.

i find getting stronger helps. as well as more speed work.
if there is an exercise you want, try using bands and chains so its lighter at the bottom.
and i am not trying to be an ass.

I agree with close-grip, but also pauses and JM press.

Overhead press. Also, Jim Wendler has a good article for the 5 simplest ways to increase your bench

I gotta disagree with this. Now, of course everybody's different, but I know that I'm not the only one who has made big gains on the press with very little/no increase in the bench. I put on over 40 pounds on my press over about a year with about a 5 pound increase in my bench.
