Many times it is hard to find someone to train with and this can be especially difficult when you need a spot or someone to hold the boards when performing a board press. One solution to this is to take a mini-band or light band and put each end in the safety pins of a power rack. At this point, lie on the bench and wedge the board between the band and your chest. This should keep the board relatively stable.
