Strong bench day there broseph, have you tried board presses? Essentially the same thing. Great work...

Thank you man believe it or not... It was a let down day for me but its ok I'm focusing on the true PL form. Board press?

Some days are just not as good as others, no big deal. Easy breezy.

Guaranteed brother! Just means next time ill push harder :-)

Board press?

Just some 2x4's nailed together with a handle for your training partner to hold. Can be 2 board, 3 board or whatever height you may be sticking at. Partner holds it on your chest, you lower bar, touch board and blast off. Sounds essentially like what you were doing.

Off to earn a few pennies...

Excuse me, there is only one midget king here!

Declines are different haha not a fan but if they will make me stronger haha

I like declines - perhaps coincedental, but for me it seems like the best for hitting the lower part of the pec

I usually work with dumbbells as I rarely have a spotter, so there's always that little bit of "oh ****" factor when I first start leaning back holding weight.

In another thread they were talking about doing decline skullcrushers for a bit of extra isolation -

If he has you doing board presses then he is working on a sticking point in your lift. 4 boards is up in the lockout portion. My thoughts on decline bench are that they actually do a great job of working the entire chest but tend to force you to get your lats more involved in the lift. This might be his motivation here AB.
