Tweet1 board press

Muscles Targeted: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

The 1 Board Press has become a favorite of lifters, from raw to equipped lifters. To perform this exercise, all you need is a one board (a 2x6 works perfectly) and a regular bench.

The important thing to remember is to keep your bench form the same and to NOT heave the bar off of the board. Many lifters will bring the bar into the board, let it sink hard and use the momentum to achieve the lift. You need to let the bar sink, but don't learn how to cheat.

You can use any grip (close, medium or wide) for this lift.
