    1 board or 2 board only in my opinion.

    Full/half foam roller presses are cool too.

    They're not exactly going to build tricep/top end strength specifically because of the ROM tho.

    Why do you think you need more tricep strength?

    So it really is just a partial compound movement....that sounds really obvious now that Im reading it onscreen!
    Sure who doesnt need more tricep strength?!! :D
