it seems most (except westside) of the 800+lbs pressers these days are doing tons of shirted board work, focusing on handling heavier and heavier weight each week (not just 2ply guys either, mark bell, scott cartwright come to mind). I think this is the best method for getting to know your gear, but may not build all that much strength.

For weights that are heavy enough, like in comp I jack the shirt as hard as I can, but do not torque the sleeves. I tuck all the way, although its more of a moderate tuck.
I think I'll try some shirted book work next week, might see what I can do with 160kg on 3 books.
