Exercise Description

The 2 board bench press builds explosive chest power and breaks through sticking points. It lets you handle heavier weight to build raw strength.

How To

1. Place two boards on your chest and lie flat on the bench 2. Grip the barbell slightly wider than shoulder-width with arms fully extended 3. Lower the 2 board bench press weight slowly until the bar touches the boards 4. Drive the bar up explosively while keeping your shoulder blades pulled back 5. Complete your 2 board bench press reps with controlled movement throughout

Form Tips

• Keep the boards flat against your chest during each 2 board bench press rep • Drive your feet into the ground for more power and stability • Don't let your elbows flare too wide - keep them at 45 degrees • Focus on the explosive push during the 2 board bench press concentric phase

Common Mistakes

• Letting the boards slide around on your chest during the 2 board bench press • Bouncing the bar off the boards instead of pausing briefly • Using too much weight and losing control of the 2 board bench press movement
