Would this or a similar tool work for a vertical press?

No one would ever say using chains is cheating.. the sling shot is conceptually the same thing only using aid at the bottom instead of adding weight at the top... plus a sling shot is WAY easier to setup than chains and encourages proper form. It's a tool to supplement raw bench.

I'm not a powerlifter. I'm a 62 year old just trying to stay fit. I ordered the slingshot because my left shoulder is messed up. I am hoping it can get me benching with less pain. I ordered the blue one.

Hey Mark you look great buddy . I'm 57 years old and I been in shit loads of bench competitions in my 20s and up to early 40s , I had a 525 bench press with pause for my best and never used nothing the only thing that was out that I knew about was a bench shirt but didn't use one when I benched 525 with pause at 214 pounds. Just recieved my original slingshot because I have major shoulder pain from arthritis and all the heavy lifting through my years even with seated shoulder presses behind my neck 315 for 8 reps and actually did 405 for a single behind the neck press with just a lift off and nobody touching the bar even the slightest because just a finger on the bar helps and people don't realize that but your slingshot definately works as you say and my shoulder isn't bothering me as much at all with your slingshot so thank you very much and I will be buying more of your merchandise very soon buddy.

So then why not just use less weight, if your elbows and shoulders hurt use less weight more reps..... I'm sorry I don't see a benefit , if you have that many injuries you can't lift 300 lb don't lift 300 lb Lift 200 without the band.... why push yourself to unrealistic expectations this is a gimmick the only benefit is his pocketbook... yeah you can walk around and say oh boy the first time I ever benched 315 no you didn't bench 315 you benched 250 with a cheat... that's the honest fact
@coreyfearing78542 ай бұрын
Does it matter where we place the slingshot. I always put it on my biceps above the elbows but i sometimes see people with it at the center of the elbows. 50% above elbow and 50% of the slingshot below the elbow. Which is best.

I don't know how to write to NOT sounds like an attacking moron but... The only thing I hear when you explain everything about it just pure cheating to help you lift bigger then you can't do normally? Am I totally wrong? Helps in the bottom vere it's the heaviest and force triceps to help out mor? Am I totally wrong? 😅 Explain to me because I am genuine interested. Maby I don't get because that's the only thing I hear 😅 English ain't my country's main language so maby thats it. The only thing with what I understand that's good is that you get a little more secure if you benching without anyone standing behind ready to help if you if something happen? Thanks man. Awesome videos 💪🏻 *Edit: many ut helps power lifters / explosive sports alot but not bodybuilders?

I’m dying to know too. Seems like it’s only useful if you’re injured or if you do it without and then drop set using this, but then you could just pull plates off too. Seems like cheating and not faster strength building.

I love mine. I'm a paraplegic, and it honestly helps me balance when I go heavy on bench. Once I feel and move a certain weight with the Slingshot, my CNS is used to it and it definitely helps when I hit the same weight (or close) raw.

Have you tried turning them inside out and starting upside down? Got a pair of these a few years back and never wore them because they were too hard to get on. Pulled them out today and after using the first tip in the video “How To Put On Tight Elbow Sleeves” by Basement Brandon they went on without much trouble.

lol no doubt, I went up a size because of that…. Well because I lost my first one, left it at the gym lol but my first one was an xl and it works great but irritating as hell on my biceps so I went to xxl and now it slips right on but not as much support as I’m use to with the xl, they need an xl chest with xxl arms

Yes. I started using the slingshot after 6 months of PT for major shoulder surgery (rotator cuff). Using the slingshot Im working out doing sets with 205lbs 11 months out of surgery. The slingshot will help. I won’t bench without it. Just take it slow.
