And then it's only if your sticking point is very high (which mine is). Stuff off the chest should be your bread and butter but as you get stronger then alternating heavy days between paused work off the chest and 2 board press can give your shoulders and nervous system a bit more time to recover. I must reiterate that if your sticking point is anywhere near your chest then stay away from the boards! For every 10 guys that I train 9 of them smash their pb without going near any board work.

some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280 710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	Floor pressing is indeed a nice lift for unequipped benching. Personally up to a 2 board for is as high as I would go. However I must say all my recent bench press pbs have pretty much come about through straight benching and the addition of a little CGBP work.
