      So we have been doing medium grip bench to 2 board frequently and I was wondering if you are supposed to take more weight than you would on a regular bench press or the same, or less? It reminds me of how when you deadlift off blocks you try to handle more weight so I was wondering if the purpose was similar with benching to the 2 board. Thanks.

      It depends.

      What block are you in and what is the sets/reps description for the exercise?

      Hi Murph,

      It was week 2 of Let’s Get Strong and the exercise was 3RM for 2 board close grip bench.

      3RM means a 3 rep max.

      Hit a max.
