Slingshot

I bought one a few years ago. Tried it but wasn't a huge fan. Gave it to my nephew to try and never got it back.
 
seems interesting, but i havent messed with straps and stuff besides lifting gloves at times because my hands were raw.
if you use it let us know what you think!
 
I've used them. I don't understand the point to it. I'm sure it has a benefit just don't know what it is.
 
It loads up on potential energy by storing Kinect energy. Like a rubberband pulled taught. Elbow wraps have similar properties and the more tight and agressive the construction the more rebound you get. The benefit is you can essentially bench more weight and move the weight at a faster speed especially out of the hole. It also does compress and protect the tendon/joint in elbows

It can assist with the bottom 6 inches or so of the movement which is where many people get stuck when maxing.

Or like in my case takes some of stress off the shoulders. I've always been an elbows flared out bencher and nearing 40 have paid the price.

which one do you use? think i'll start with the red one.

I just noticed they have a new yellow one as well that is next gen with angled sleeves etc.

Get the red it's great at assisting form. I'm already strong enough it's mainly an elbow shoulder aid for me
 
so i went with the red....

got in two chest workouts so far and have to say i'm completely pain free.

it forces the elbows in and takes the additional stress off the shoulder.

it is difficult to get on and off tho that is the only drawback.
 
I should try these as well, considering I get a little shoulder pain as well from benching.
