Will using the slingshot help actually accelerate the return to normality with a banged up shoulder? Or does it simply allow you to work through the pain yet still damage the joints? Serious question. I've had shoulder issues ever since I began training. First with my left shoulder, now with my right. I hate it, but at the moment I'm limited to dumbell press because I have no pain and can really choose the correct plane of movement.

I just received my slingshot last night. I used it this morning. Thank you Mark Bell the Bench God. Slingshot is weightlifting gold. I have been having pain in my right shoulder and left elbow. I used it this morning. on my last two 5X5 sets. I was able to crank more reps out. Usually I would burn out because of the pain in my shoulder. Slingshot is the truth. Thanks for the video.

I broke my collar bone over a year and a half ago, and am currently having extreme issues trying to bench even 135. I just got a slingshot and am having my first bench sesh with it tomorrow, if I like how it feels I'll probably always use it for benching- until my shoulder is up to par at least.

So if the sling shot is assisting in the lift then if you were to lift more with it...wouldn’t it basically be the same as if you did the weight that you could do without it? I’m just not understanding how it increases your raw lifting more than lifting without it.

Slingshot,chains,bands all make the strength curve increase towards lockout. But for most people the weakest point is off the chest, so what variations are best for that? board presses? Pause reps?

+Silent Mike I do like slingshot and i do think it helps. but how's that more volume? that's more volume for the slingshot not for your body. When I lift a ton with a crane, it doesn't add a ton of volume to me isn't it?
@SilentMike8 жыл бұрын
The slingshot does not lift the weight for you... its added volume because it is a variation much like close-grip or spoto press with benefits of accomodating resistance. I use it after my raw work etc.. much like a pause squat or stiff leg deadlift.
@patrickb44588 жыл бұрын
+sercan can google "gzcl how the slingshot saved my bench" and it's a good read on how one powerlifter really implemented the slingshot to increase his raw bench. the slingshot allows you to work through a full range of motion while handling high intensity weights (90%+, if you choose to go this high intensity). it's not an absolute neccessity but it's worth the purchase in the long run in my opinion.
