How much do board presses help in your opinion? Also what do you think about doing dips on a regular basis? Dips get a lot of hate but they are an alpha exercise.

The board press is predominantly used by geared benchers as a means of overloading with weight and breaking the shirt in, can't always go straight down to the chest.
Theory is you can bench more weight with the reduced ROM. That's one way to use it.
The way I have been incorporating it is allowing me to continue benching without the shoulder problems flaring up. I have also been going steadily wider and have managed to push my grip out more on my main bench because of it.
Heavy weighted dips are my all time favourite bench assistance, just they place too much strain on me at the moment if I go too deep so I am avoiding the risk. I sometimes use my board press shirt for that too, having my chest touch the safety rail (what the dip handles connect to) so that the ROM is "safer"."Ain't nothing to it but to do it"

Depending on your rack, you can also do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGQLSE1ZgsE
Or you can put the loaded barbell on safety pins and use a bench as the knee pad.Lifting Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=147159883

Had to drop front squat training max from 125 to 117.5. Was just too much and missing reps this early is not on.

Can't actually remember what I did. Was some pull downs and some curls I think along with some +10kg for 12 GHR sets.

I was a naughty boy and didn't do my usual mobility warm up / hip opening routine. I paid for it because although the bar speed was nice, I was not pulling back as much as usual. Lesson learnt.

It's always high carb Vicky. Keeping your carbs high is the key, even more so for performance. Only really pays to drop carbs if you are hoping to peak for a show / photoshoot and you want to load up on them before hand to get all vascular and chit.
I'm on poverty 2200kcal a day
165 P
220 C
73 F
maybe 185P 200C that is easy to switch around depending what I wanna eat. Only doing it for 8 weeks. Need to fit into my clothes as summers coming and nothing f'ucking fits!"Ain't nothing to it but to do it"

I do mobility every day through various stretches and yoga positions. I often sit in the third world squat position whilst playing on my xbox.
You should do it, it doesn't pay NOT to do it. I was just being a lazy phuck.my workout log -> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=147657213
