Most often I use full range, with close grip and lock outs thrown in.

 

[Skarhead1]

go heavy. the more weight the better not less weight the more eccentric.

 

[SCG2]

rack lockouts.

People who do alot of pressing should get a ton of work, i always thought weighted dips were great, but they do cause some issues with the shoulder over a long period. Most people will at some point in time have to drop skullcrushers due to elbow issues. You don't see big numbers on skull crushers in the gym ever, because the strong guys have usually abandoned the exercise years before.

as jcp said, any form of pressing will make your tri's GROW. i press 3x per week and that's done wonders for my tri's with NO tri iso stuff. i bench twice per week (flat/CGBP/decline) and push press (in front of or behind the neck) once.

 

[Double3]

dips, straight bar pushdowns
