What do board presses do exactly?

[RessUT]

takes where your stuck point is on the bench and develops it

They work the higher portion of the rep range. Raw benchers usually falter at the bottom of the lift, at their chest. But in most powerlifting meets the shirt helps the benchers rebound and it is the top portion of the lift that peters out for them. By using boards of varying thickness the PLers can work on a specific range and get stronger in it.

@dbears6 Takes one to know one?

The point of lowering to highering (eccentric to concentric) is where the muscles get their greatest stress. The board moves that point up slightly and allows the benching muscle to strengthen throughout the entire range of motion.
