3-Board Press
This is my favorite Max Effort Bench exercise, along with the 2-Board Press. I only train with one other person, so we have no one to hold the boards. Our 3-board is 8" long. Just nail 3 2x6's together and cut it to length. We place it under our shirt, and then tuck the shirt in to hold the board in place. This works great if you only have one spotter and no one else to hold the board. I typically use a pinky-on-ring grip for this exercise, but close grips are usually used. This is performed like a regular bench press, but you will be eliminating the bottom half. Keep your lats tight and drive the bar towards your feet. This is a good ME exercise to practice your bench shirt with also.
