any alternate exercises i can do for board press?

[110%]

i am starting the dual hypertrophy training and 5 board closegrip bench press is to be performed for 1 X 8 each week in one of the sessions, im starting tommorrow and currently dont have 5 2X6 boards to glue together, also i cant see int he future carrying the whole thing in for just one set, ne other alternate exercises i can do?

hey...i was gonna say that!!!!!!!

 

[spatts]

set the pins at about the same height and do pin presses.

 

[slobberknocker]

I agree with spatts. I've been doing those for a couple weeks and they're terrific for the tris.

 

[jerkbox]

yeah pin press is about all i can do too...


floor presses too i guess

the boards will be much easier on your shoulder joint. personally id rather carry the boards to and fro

 

[NWinters]

have in mind the boards will be sort of like blocks instead, not no 6 foot board...lol

Boards are cheap and easy to put together. Just buy a 5' 2"x6" and have them cut it into one foot sections for you at the store.

Plus, the looks that you get in the gym are well worth the effort.

Why are they? It does not make since as to how those can have a different affect than pin presses.

i would think that the boards are more forgiving and give in a lil w/your chest. when you hit the pins...thats it...cant go no farther.

the boards let you still feel the weight through the boards.when you pause the weight on the boards you're going to feel it,unlike pin presses you will feel more in the shoulders and nothing transfering through to your chest.both are good exercises though..... iwould rather do boards if possible.....
