I dont think, either.

Most people can get the weight a few inches of their chest with a proper set-up anyways because of the mechanics of the leg drive and usually half decent chest strength. Its right at that 2 board area that alot of max lifts are failed (raw, anyway).

If your stuck there, you got a couple options the way i see it. 1 get stronger off the chest and push through that sticking point (speed bench, DB work), Get stronger in the tris and hope for a carryover, or nail the area directly with a 2board press.. all will work to an extent.

That being said, my sticking point is about 4 or maybe 5 board height..
