A bench press block is a board press you carry in your gym bag. It fits onto a standard or Olympic barbell and rests on your chest at the bottom of the press, so the bar stops at a set height above you. That lets you work the top part of the press without a training partner holding boards.
This one sets to four different heights, so you can shorten the range a little or a lot. Lifters use it for partial reps, lockout strength and practising form with a heavier bar than they’d take through the full range. It also keeps tension in the chest and triceps through the part of the lift you’re working on.
It’s high density EVA foam, compact and easy to carry to the gym.
