Sling Shot® Original Sling Shot® The Original Sling Shot® is one of the most effective bench press training tools ever developed for serious strength athletes. Designed specifically for lifters with a maximum bench press of 275 pounds or more, it provides moderate assistance through the pressing movement while reinforcing proper bench press mechanics. Constructed with Level 3 material stiffness, the Original Sling Shot allows athletes to handle approximately 10-15% more weight than their current max. This added overload helps train the central nervous system to become more comfortable under heavier loads while reducing the wear and tear that often comes from frequent maximal training. As the Sling Shot stretches during the lowering phase, it stores energy and assists through the bottom portion of the lift. This support helps keep the elbows tucked, encourages proper bar path, and reduces unnecessary strain on the shoulders. The result is improved technique, increased training volume, and greater confidence when returning to raw bench pressing. Whether you're preparing for a powerlifting meet, building pressing strength, or looking to train around minor shoulder discomfort, the Original Sling Shot provides the support needed to continue making progress without sacrificing training quality. Beyond the bench press, the Original Sling Shot can also be used during dips and push-ups, making it a versatile addition to any strength training program. Built for athletes who value Focus, Trust, and Strength, the Original Sling Shot helps bridge the gap between heavy training and long-term progress.
