Free $50+; Express $7.

      Why lifters use a Sling Shot

      • Form you can feel: Elastic rebound guides elbows in and keeps the bar path tighter.

      • Overload without guesswork: Add kilos above your raw max while maintaining control.

      • Joint-friendly training: Offloads stress from shoulders and elbows on volume days.

      • Versatile: Flat, incline, close-grip, and overload board-press alternatives.

      Single-Ply vs Double-Ply (Which is right for you?)

      Single-Ply: Best for newcomers, technique practice, deloads, and moderate assistance. Expect a smoother touch and natural lockout feel—great for higher-rep sets.
      Double-Ply: More assistance and stronger rebound for heavy singles/doubles, overload phases, and confidence building above competition attempts.

      Find Your Size (M–3XL)

      For a snug, supportive fit, measure around your chest/upper arm where the band sits during bench. If you’re between sizes, size down for more pop, up for comfort.

      • M: smaller frames / tighter fit

      • L–XL: most intermediate lifters

      • 2XL–3XL: larger builds or layered apparel

      How to Use (2-Minute Setup)

      1. Warm up raw to your final two warm-up sets.

      2. Slide the band on just above the elbows, palms up.

      3. Unrack with lats tight; touch slightly lower on the chest; press through the rebound and lock out under control.

      4. Remove the band for your last raw back-off set to retain carryover.

      Pro tip: Pair with wrist wraps for stability and liquid chalk for a consistent grip.
