It’s worth noting here that the fairest comparison would have been the black slingshot to the RAM, but we only have the red one and that’s also the most commonly used one I’ve seen.

I feel like the most important distinction here is that one overloads the bench in a way that mimics a raw bench and one overloads the bench in a manner that mimics shirt benching. That should really make the decision for anyone on its own. What competition movement are you trying to use this to improve? Choose the product that more closely mimics that.

I have the mid range sling shot and the most aggressive sling shot and I have the Ram. Ive only used the ram a cpl times. I use my slingshots religiously. He's right, the ram feels like a shirt. As I've competed in both raw and equipped powerlifting. But since I only compete raw, the slingshot feel just like my raw bench. And since I'm also use a rather close grip when I bench, the fact that it forces me to tuck my elbows, its a perfect training tool.

I Like The Sling Shot For It’s Versatility. You Can Use It For Benching, Of Course. Push-Ups & Dips. The Material Is Comfortable And It’s In-Expensive, Around $50 For The Original. The Website Also Gives Promotions Regularly. I Haven’t Tried The Other One, but I Don’t Power Lift So 🤷🏻♂️. But I Like The Sling Shot So Much I Have 2 Of Them, Elbow Sleeves, Knee Sleeves, & A Sling Shot Specifically For Push Ups Alone . My .02

I got my slingshot for like $40... I like it tho, I use it every bench session after my raw benching. Feels really good but topless benching has lots of friction on the inside of your pecs. I bench topless because it helps stick to the bench rather than sliding and I have a home gym.

Great comparison vid! I personally own the Slingshot and is a great product. Very reliable. The only thing is that every time I use it, I feel like I am cheating, so.. it is kinda hard to compare the overall improvement on your bench. Say you track your progress and week 1 is 4x5x72 kg, week 2 4x4x90 kg and then with the slingshot on week 3 4x3x120 kg... so, are you doing better or worse? Even if the volume is the same, how do you compensate for the "cheat" that comes from using the slingshot?

I completely agree with you 100%. I own a slingshot and it has helped me surpass many plateaus. I do have a question if you don't mind answering I am a raw lifter from Florida super heavyweight and I'm 38 years old. I've been researching bench press with a bench shirt. And the only reason I've been researching this type of lifting is because I would like to continue my lifting career throughout my fifties and 60s is there any information that you can tell me that will further get me prepared or anyone can tell me going into that particular division

@mr.potatohead6138 6 жыл бұрын
But why overload the easy part, wouldn't a paused bench help build bottom end power? Or is it to overload triceps? I'm just a rec lifter looking for strength not necessarily ways to optimize a competitive lift.
@chappy4756 6 жыл бұрын
Generally speaking, more weight you lift, the more muscle you develop - I know it's more complex and nuanced than that. Personally I do overloaded paused presses with the Slingshot - so after 4-6 working sets without, I add 10-15% to the bar and do triples, paused. I've found I'm able to add volume, and added intensity through heavier reps/sets at the end. I don't use it for touch and go reps so I don't get the advantage of the springy effect of the Slingshot like knee wraps/sleeves do for squats. I'm mid-40s, so being able to close out a session with triples in the high 200's/low 300's AND keep my shoulders healthy makes the $85 worth it.
@KevbotFalconhammer 6 жыл бұрын
The bottom of the lift isn't necessarily the "easy part", sticking points on lifts are individual based on the lifter's body proportions, muscular imbalances, etc.
