I am really confused about the board press. I read a post you had about board press and you said to get 2x4's and nail them together but i was on another site and it said to use 2x6 boards. Does it matter what size you use and how many should go together?

The board needs to be 2 inches thick. I use 2" x 4" s. They work. I took 5 boards. 4 of them 1 foot and length and one 2 feet in length. I drilled 1 hole through all 5. I placed the 2 footer on the bottom and the 4 1 footers on top. I then ran a bolt through from the bottom and screwed the whole thing tight with a wing nut. I did this so it would make it easy to take boards off or put them back on. The bottom board is longer so your training partner can hold onto the end of it to keep the assembly from falling off of your chest.
