The Original Sling Shot® is designed for lifters benching 275 lbs and up, providing essential support for those pushing heavier loads.

Featuring level 3 material stiffness, it allows you to press 10-15% more than your max while offering moderate assistance during pressing movements. This helps reinforce proper form, reduce shoulder discomfort, and prevent elbow flare.

It’s ideal for volume training, max-effort lifts, and it trains your CNS to handle maximal loads without excessive wear and tear. Perfect for bench press — can also be used for dips and push-ups — this versatile tool is built for serious lifters.

  • Material stiffness: Level 3

  • Best for those whose max bench press is 275 lbs and up.

  • Great for both volume and maximal loading on bench press — can also be used for dips and push-ups.
