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)
-
Warm up raw to your final two warm-up sets.
-
Slide the band on just above the elbows, palms up.
-
Unrack with lats tight; touch slightly lower on the chest; press through the rebound and lock out under control.
-
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.
