Board Press

A bench press movement using boards to limit range, useful for targeting specific sticking points.

Instructions

• Set up a bench and a squat rack with safety pins.
• Place boards on your chest at the desired height.
• Perform a standard bench press motion, but lower the barbell to the boards instead of touching your chest.
• Pause the motion briefly at the bottom before pressing back up.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not setting the boards securely, leading to movement during the lift.
• Failing to maintain control, especially when lowering to the boards.
• Bouncing the barbell off the boards instead of pausing.
