So it isnt a myth....

[jokerswild]

One particular dumbfuck comes to mind, he loads up the smith machine to do flat bench and has been pinned underneath it multiple times everytime same excuse "I'm just not feelin it today"..........

yeah but what good is it when the biggest guy in the gym does this and says he holds the record for bench press in town with 680 but only goes down 3 inches. i watched him the other day and man it really doesnt look like he is doing much. i asked him and he said it was good for your "lock out" whatever that means. tricepts maybe?

Hey dumb-ass,

Board presses are a legit technique used by EXPERIENCED powerlifters to work on mid-range explosion and lock out strength. Most benchers who wear supportive gear use this technique. I can pretty much quarentee you that big guy in your gym doesn't use just this as his only means of training and he could probably bench you to shame. If you think it's such a joke, give this a try sometime: Take the 150lbs you usually fuck around with, now load another 150lbs on it and try pressing it off of 3 boards. Did you lock it out, or are you turning blue yet? Don't mock what you don't undertstand, kid!

There is a few of these dumbasses at my gym. The worst one is this guy who screams out like he is being raped by a rhino while doing 3" squats or any other poor form exercise. I've only seen him do legs twice in the past year. once he was doing 3" squats on the smith machine with 3 plates on each. The second time he tried to work in with our group and got embarrased horribly when we made him do 185lbs parallell. The first thing the idiot did was put his head down on the decent. He nearly went head first into the mirror. Luckily the rack saved him.

Board presses are a great way to increase strength. Make fun of the 3 inch squaters but dont make fun of tried and proven techniques just because you dont use them.

Amen!!! I have had people look at me stupid when performing lockouts in the power rack. Most of the people that look at me stupid couldnt even bench 225 let alone do lockouts with 480

Well I will be honest. When I first started back at the gym after I got outta high school (ya it was after new years) at first I prob did go to heavy on some shit. Never a 3 inch squat but prob got a little sloppy on my form. I was surrounded by all the vets and juicers and hated feeling like a little bitch. well i realized on about the 1st week, "what the fuck am I doing" You just need to be humble. Well I stuck with it and now I am stronger then ever but still not even close to the juicers. Wait till I get my Dbol. ITS ON.

Lol @ dipping his head. It might well have been his first ever attempt at a real squat.

I overheard a trio of 120lb stick-insect supermen the other day discussing the relative merits of cable-crossovers and the pec dec. One of them settled the argument with "Ya gotta stick with what works".

Bro Im taking the LiquiClen now and I measure it with a syringe. If you do some searches you will find a bunch of threads about it. One thread estimated that in about 6 drops from the dropper you get 20mcgs. If you put 6 drops into a syringe it will get to the first tick. The syringes I use are 3cc syringes.
After checking that 6 drops for me actually IS 20mcgs now I just go straight from the dropper. Measure yours first and dont over do the clen. Hope this helps.

HUH?

 

[dullboy]

i have heard of this....most put a big board on their chest, so they can only bring it down about 6 inches and then back up.......supposed to help their explosion....that way when they do the full range it is supposed to help their muscles react faster giving them better explosion off their chest


never tried it, but I have seen it done by many guys who can bench over 350 the correct way

nah , these guys ain't using no board and they only drop the weight about 3 inches before they push it back up and none of the guys who do it can bench over 185.

 

[dullboy]

Board presses are useful for guys who bench in a shirt. The shirt does a lot to help get the bar away from the chest so board presses can help you target your weaker ranges of the press.

this makes sense. i know what board presses are and when i see serious guys doing them, they're always shirted.

Partial reps do have a place in buliding strength, but that is only when they are done correctly. These jackasses doing 42,973 pound leg presses with a 2 inch range of motion are complete idiots.
