I do board presses. Just try to know I'm not going to fail! They are just so much better than pin presses or floor presses IMO, both of which are uncomfortable on my shoulders and create a movement that is not as close to the real thing as board presses are. BUT they are a very good option in the absence of boards or if you are worried about safety. I don't do max weights with board presses is all.

Floor presses are exactly what they sound like. You lie on the floor (in your rack of course) and you upper arms/elbows are what stops the weight. There are articles, btw, on all this stuff in the Powerlifting section.

To tell the truth close grip presses are no good for me because my regular grip is close (maybe unusually so) that anything that would be considered "close" by me is too tough on my wrists.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
