Finally used 300+ on bench exercise

[Powerlifter-148]

Today i was doing 4 and 5 board presses.

worked up to 285 x 1 on 4 board( not sure if spotter touched 2nd rep, so i just wont count it )

on 5 boards, i did 285 x 3
and then finished off with a suprisingly easy 305 x 3

Nice work!

You are going to have some excellent lockout strength.

What kind of "boards' are you guys using exactly? I am somewhat new to the board and not familiar with board presses. Thanx

I use 2x6's nailed together.
When they say "4 board presses", they are referring to 4 boards nailed together and placed on your chest. Then, you perform a bench press, but the bar can only travel to the boards themselves. It's like a partial bench press.

They're used for working different parts of the bench press. Specifically, where your weakness might be, that can determine how many boards you use.


Hope that makes some sense,
