My buddy and I are looking to do a better stairstep effect in board presses. So we are going to implement 1/2 boards. The half board though would more than likely be very fragile so we are thinking about using a rubber mat or some old tire rubber.
Anyone else utilize 1/2 boards on board days. If so, how has it helped out.
Ive never heard of a 1/2 board.
I think most people whoe use boards use up to 5 boards at 1.5,3,4.5,6, and 7.5 inches. Why do u want to add more boards?
I dont think hes using more boards biggun, I think hes actually using half a board.
Just use a folded up towel.
Just inhale and puff out your chest and you’ll get a half board…
I’ve used a half board when breaking in a new shirt. Works pretty well.

If he’s not already doing that then 1/2 board-presses should be way down his list of priorities…
Rubber mat.
I understand the concept of 1/2 board and what to use. I was curious about others’ experiences with it. Sorry if I did not make myself clear at first.
Half board works fine, wood will work, rubber matting or plastic.
An alternative that the Supertraining Gym guys do is a folded piece of carpet. Cuts the ROM just a little and gives no rebound.
