Cool E I kinda felt like they werent quite right, from memory of videos watched I thought my chest needed to be higher.

IW the advantage of board pressing is yeah that you can use a bit more weight but also you can train your sticking point hard.The theory is the speed work should get the bar off the chest and the higher up you fail is where your sticking point is.So mine is 2-3 " off the chest so working with 2 boards lets me hit that area hard, especially with a pause on the board.Also the reduced ROM can help lessen any shoulder rotation and save some work for the shoulder cos they cop a hammering from squatting and all pressing exercises.
