thanks for the tip bro. power rack at the gym I train at does not have a hookup for reverse bands. any tips / ideas how to work around that?
This is why i was thinking about doing 4-5 board presses to handle a heavier weight.

the other gym I train at sometimes has a REAL power rack setup but travel and kid care issues make it an ordeal to train there.
