Wow, I have no idea how this made it to the bottom of the page with no replies. Amazing benching man!!! What type of shirt is that?

[mikesbench]

Thanks dxiw. It's an OLD rage-x. About a 4 year old shirt, it's before they made it with thicker material.

I've never understood using boards for bench, whats it supposed to do?

[Clifford Gillmore]

The boards limit the range of movement, so you train a specific portion of the lift. You should definately try them!

[Guitar90]

So if you're having trouble getting to lock out you put so many boards up so you're only training that part of the lift?

[mikesbench]

They also can be used to handle more weight since the ROM is limited; helps you adapt to heavier loads.

You don't frequent the powerlifting forum here? Even if you don't "powerlift" I suggest checking it out daily. There is a ton of great training information in there.
