Also I am currently recovering from a detached long head bicep tendon and feel that benching with Repboards will help me lift heavy weights without aggravating the injury."

"So you’re at the gym and your program calls for board presses.It’s already a pain in the ass enough to ask some random person to offer a handoff, let alone to ask yet another person to come along and hold the boards in place. Sure you can use your own boards and place them underneath your shirt and hope they stay in place, or you can even use a mini-band and wrap that around them, but nothing is guaranteed and it’s often a cumbersome cluster****. Repboards are handy little tool that allows one to utilize 1,2,3, and 4 board presses without all the fanfare"

"Anyone who follows me knows I like to do a form of board pressing when doing bench press, this is to save any rotation in my shoulders, which with big weight can cause serious "un-necessary" issues. Easily rectified by having a couple of Repboards on your chest to bench too. Its definately safer and more efficient that using wooden boards. Training with Repboards is going well"

"Repboards are easy to use, secure and comfortable and worked like a charm. They would work great for anyone, but especially those that train alone or with limited training partners. I did mess around with the Repboards, putting them together and pulling them apart and thought it worked great and was a superb idea"

"Great product, I was sceptical at first that the Pro Repboards wouldn't be suitable with lifting the kind of weight I'm benching off wooden boards, but after lifting 230kg my doubts were put to rest. I can see this doing really well in commercial gyms, where carrying blocks of wood around in your gym bag just isn't practical"
