Original (Red) Sling Shot
The Original Sling Shot will allow you to handle about a 10% overload in the bench press while avoiding the pain that comes along with pushing your body to the limit. It mimics natural muscle movement by lengthening and shortening with the muscles thus giving support on the eccentric and concentric phase of a bench press. This effect can greatly reduce stress on the shoulders, elbows, and chest.

Cool accessory to have in the gym and throw into training. Have never used it consistently but its fun to throw on here and there.

Good tool if you know how to use it. Misgroove and you might have a bad time.

Pretty hard to not know what this thing is if you were lifting in the early 2010’s. The sling shot was the key to a bigger bench. It is still a great training tool to provide a different movement. Great for getting some support out of the bottom of the lift, especially if you are training alone and don’t have a training partner to help you work through failure of higher weights. I have also heard that this can help with training while with shoulder pain. I am not sure about all that, but it is worth a shot if that is bothering you. Mine has lasted me 8 years and seems to be just as strong today as when I got it.
