Working the the lockout portion of the bench press. I prefer using board versus using the pins since the set up is exactly the same as a regular bench press and you get the eccentric loading. There are certainly benefits to a pin press as well, but I feel board presses have more carry over to the bench press. There are many way to perform the movement, but I choose to just press touch and go. I focus on pausing when I am getting ready for a meet and I go all the way to my chest. Board presses also are great for training the nervous system since the body gets used to having supramaximal(over 1RM) weights in your hands. That way when you attempting a new personal record to the chest the weight doesn't "feel" as heavy. This movement is also great for targeting the triceps muscles as well.
