So in the first video you put a board on your chest to bench. How is this any different than laying on the floor? Looks like the same range of motion

One's a bar one's a dumbbell. You can use either, DB floor, Barbell floor, 1 board, 2 board, 3 board for lockouts. Use DB's with athletes to help increase increase scap and shoulder stability, palms-in generates more power.

yeah, but you can lay in the squat rack and place the pins in a position that allows you to use a bar and the same range of motion as using dumbbells on the floor and and the bench press with the board laying across your chest.

Yep, we could and do that as well. I do it more for myself though.

Good from the floor or off the pins, dead weight, no contact with the body, board presses still put the weight on your chest, you have to admit it is different.

Board presses allow you to work different areas of the bench and still have the feeling of weight on the chest. They are great for working past sticking points. As for the chains yes they will help greatly also. I use floor presses with the bar(not DB's) I do rack lockouts, I do board presses, I do band presses and a combo of all of them sometimes. But to answer the original question, yes these will help :)

So, placing the dead weight on the board, which is laying on your chest, is so much different than the dead weight resting on the pins?

Please explain to me the physiological differences.

I said PHYSIOLOGICAL, not PSYCHOLOGICAL!!

But seriously, it doesn't seem there would be much of a difference between a bar resting on a board, which is laying on your chest, as opposed to the bar resting on a set of pins. I understand training is a science but you can also look to deep into training techniques as well.

Did you watch the videos? The board press is touch and go, the stress of the weight is constant on your body, using pins the stress of the weight transfers to the pins and off your muscles and you have to explode to push the next rep.........gezzus, do you guys just get your training ideas from Flex magazine or what?  ::)

Actually, no, I don't. All my experience comes from trial and error and a guy I used to train with who used to compete.

Perhaps its just a different style of training, as I never incorporated this type of training into my regimen.

im not a fat powerlifter but here's my guess:
-even slight differences in exercises allow you to rotate through exercises in 2-3 week rotations to avoid overtraining
-benching with a board feels more like a real bench because you are resting the weight on the body
-It doesn't require setting up in a cage which can be time consuming
-It allows better control of the range of motion, whereas pins in a power rack are fixed in place
-It's another way you can piss of Coach by doubting its effectiveness
