Incline Board Press
Does anyone use these? I've searched a lot of articles that relate to WSB and board presses, but never any incline boad presses. Does anyone suggest using these as an ME movement?

No
You are cutting out the most important part of the movement.
You do incline because of the angle off the chest

Please elaborate... your still keeping the same angle, nothing changes except for an added board.

I dont quite see it as a highly effective movement in the long term.

Use incline DB presses as an accessory lift on ME day.

i think it'd put a lot of stress on your shoulders?

I have a hard time bringing a barbell all the way to my chest so I only do DB incline presses so I don't injure myself. I've never seen anyone do these and can't see where it'd benefit anything, but I'm sure someone somewhere does them and loves them

The way I see it, is you are doing incline to work your shoulders more in a pressing movement.
By using a board, you are changing that by removing the range where shoulders are more active.
