I started working with one of these a while back because of shoulder injuries. I was worried at first that I would be cheating myself out of full effort. What shocked me most was that it allowed me to do MORE work at the gym, not less- a LOT more. And I’m stronger now because of it. Thanks man!
Aye man make a vid about it and how you use it 🙏
I just came off a double nerve transportation surgery. I worked out 5-6 days a week. I seen your product and said hey I wanna try it. at 47 years old it's like I never missed a step. I work up to 225 without it, then I strap up and blast thur 225x10 reps upto 275x6 reps. total sets 5. And I feel great. I recommend this for guys/gals whom may have pains or surgeries. Or just for confidence.
Hi everyone. I had heard of the slingshot and was always curious about it. I finally bought one… wow! I had no idea it would help me so much. What a fantastic invention! It really helps with my form, and OMG it is so fun to overload and become used to heavier weights. 10%? Not for me, it’s more like 25% increase, and I feel safe doing it too. Wow thank you Mark Bell!
I have the og one and I love it I have been able to do 225 for 21 reps with it and I am 57 and 275 for 10 reps I know that not a lots for some guys but for me with bad shoulders it's great after my doctor told me to stop lifting glad you came up with it THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this product good for a beginner lifter who has a weak bench and needs assistance getting it higher? My Deadlift and Squats are in the lower 300's yet my bench struggles at even 1 plate.
I have a bum left shoulder and my flat bench was a struggle at 135 i got the reactive slingshot the other day and got up to 225. I didnt do flat bench bc my shoulder wouldnt push but now im excited to get back on it. I think continuing to do it will help me build the strength back up in my shoulder. If i have a spotter which i usually dont just getting the bar up that first 6-8 inches i could do the rest and the slingshot has helped a ton w that. I know this is an old post but i would go with getting one. Im happy i did
Sean Wilson thats what i call a poverty bench... i suffer the same, improving slowly with more back exercises and trying to engage my lats and get my chest up and out on the descend of the bench press, has helped me control the weight big time.. before i used to lower it fast and i lost control..
anyways, i just bought the slingshot and its arriving in a couple of days, expecting to use that shit and see if i can get 165 for reps lol.
You’re not squatting and deadlifting 300+ and not able to bench 135. Lol. You may be half ass squatting and deadlifting with bad form to get those, because those numbers don’t add up. Your average American man that doesn’t even lift can bench 200 the first day in the gym.
I want one of those blue tank tops.
I'am 6 feet and 3.2 inches and 198 pounds and have my lower arm almost 14''. I want to buy the original slingshot. Which size do you recommend? Also i live in Greece. Which shop has the lowest shiping for greece?
First off mentioning your forearm size is irrelevant. 14 inch forearms are very small. They clearly show the size chart on the page, 180-220 is an XL.
Hi, can anyone tell me why my legs shake before lock out when deadlifting??
You lock your knees when standing through out the day. Try standing with them slightly bent anytime you remember to.
The slingshot rules
This would also be great everyday wear for those suffering imaginary Lat syndrome .
😂
Mark Bell I want to thank you for the slingshot you and Scott medicine is the baddest man on the planet including Mike Tyson I'm a 59-year-old man your slingshot has made me get my bench up in the 400s Scott medicine routine have helped me out too I love you guys for helping me get my life back together I used to be a power lift I had 760 deadlift and a 750 squat my bench press with my weakest lift I only bench 390 but with the slingshot I'm benching like 410 that's 59 years old I had five shoulder surgery one biceps and one
Back surgery in 2019. I want to thank you and Scott Mineson for being such good role models for me! Feel free to call me 757-227-7256 I take this sport very serious! I feel like I could bench even more! I took a storage barn and turned it into my homemade gym. George Reid
Lol
I was one of those washed up powerlifters who had sore shoulders. I'd always get pains on bench day and it made me feel like not lifting. Then a few years ago I went to the Arnold and met Mark. He introduced me to the OG Slingshot, only one he had at the time. I fell in love with it instantly. I started training with it and my bench went from 365 to a max of 450 for 1 rep. But BEST of all, I had ZERO shoulder pain. None. Sorry for the long comment, but man, I love me some Slingshot!
Worldwide Darts you fucking crazy if you think this will stop shoulder pain. Yes this ups your bench because it helps push the weights up. Its not talking away from your training because it really is a form of cheating to use heavier weight. So useing this is just an ego pump! Your exposeing your joints to more on the locked out holding of the weight at the beginning and lock out at the end to rack. I like you mark but im so tired of all this equipment ego pumps like bench the bench suit for example. If you can,t lift it raw and train raw the your ego pumping. Truth
@@The_magic_mountain33 sounds like the gear fried your brain
Why lift so heavy that your shoulders hurt in the first place? Most so-called powerlifters don't make money doing it, so why do something that will hurt you?
Just wrap your entire body in packing tape works great lol 😂
@@The_magic_mountain33 this actually helps alot to get used to more weight in your hands.
holy shit that old guy is strong af for 150 lbs and that age jesus
He is a beast, definitely hit 2x bodyweight or much better in his prime. Looking like he will get back there too
He had 2 45s on each side ur math is a little suspect 😂🤣
Lmao no he's not
@@squelch6573 sir the bar weighs about 60 pounds
“The bar weighs 60 pounds” man the ignorance is painful
180 lbs, 5'10" he calls "very thin". Damn.
He said 6'2 didn't he?
Richard Evans 2:08
Odd Wan John thats tiny
That's downright scrawny for a gym rat. Basically, if your BMI isn't "obese," you're well short of your genetic potential for anabolism.
Odd Wan John yes thats thin, im 5`10 at 225lbs, and im considered thin
6:30 "a lot of females use this, smaller weight power lifters, smaller frame guys" *shows silent mike*
I'd just like to say I did indeed increase my bench by 50 pounds in a little over a month with the slingshot.but I'd also like to add, that I think the reason the slingshot works so well is because it forces your body and tendons to adjust to heavier and heavier weights. In turn, breaking your bench wall. Such a simple invention. Wish I would have thought of it! I love it!
Cheater cheater where’d you meet her
@@julienenglin3107 tell me you’re weak without telling me. I don’t get how people like you can be so wrong and be unaware about it 🤣
It's like a cheat code for your brain, it's amazing
Jesus man, you ate us short ppl alive! haha.
>Smaller frame power lifters
>Shows Silent Mike
What
I laughed so hard
LOVE THIS!!!!! I am coming back from massive neck and shoulder surgery after being shot while in the Marine Corps. Bullet went through the top left side of my chest, bouncing off the bone and coming out through my back. I’ve been cleared to hit the gym for only a couple months and have been scared to push on bench and push-ups but with this, I’ve been killing it. Thank you so much. For those wondering: NO! I’m not getting paid and I am a real person
Holy shit man, you’re a survivor! Hope your bench has only gotten stronger since
HAHAHA. Smalle people (Cut to Silentmike)
fuck it I'm buying one
ordered the yellow one yesterday,can't wait
+Billy Goat have you got it yet? if so how is it, i was thinking about getting the yellow one too
+Billy Goat how did the yellow one workout for you?
This is a game changer! My shoulders were shot and I was afraid I'd never be able to bench again... proudly back to benching 255 again!
You can really bench 150. The device is giving you a big cheat.
@sarahslye2726 Is it hard being such a turd burglar?
Should i start with easiest band? I probably bench 240 now.
@sarahslye2726 I obviously built myself back to 255 lbs and it took time but that's a hell of a feat considering I couldn't even think about getting under the bench! I stand firmly behind this product for old bastards pushing 50 years of age such as myself!
@dancahill5648 I'd say that's about right... I think you'll know when you need to upgrade the belt but I haven't seen the need to do so in my case
I'm benching 300 right now after about 6 weeks in the gym...but I've benched as much as 425 in the past. I've been out of the gym for about 8-9 years but muscle memory is kicking in pretty good so I'm hoping to be hitting 350+ in the next couple months. That said, should I get the original or the Full Boar? I'm thinking original but I just wanted to get some opinion before I order. Thanks.
what u got
Great gains with the Reactive and finally moved up to the original after a year. Went from 160 -335 lbs on bench in 2 years and I give a lot of credit to Slingshot for helping me nail proper form.
Great product. Love mine. Being 41 - 6 ft 4 at 255 lbs. 465 lb bench. Thanks to the sling shot. Working my way up
Which size do you use? Thanks
@@JasonKhehra 2xl -- currently 277 lbs lean they do offer great products and I like marks tips on working out
@@cass1113 Thanks I originally ordered the XL but its too tight on my Biceps. Gonna get the 2XL!!
Thanks for the pink slingshot mark
Dude invent one for squats and deadlifts
Those are called knee wraps lol
@@patsmith8404 who tf wears knee wraps on deadlifts
Or you can do be cool and do it with nothing at all -__-
There is one for legs. I haven't used it, but from what I can tell, it seems like it just helps keep your legs in the right position. It doesn't appear to "slingshot" your lift though like the upper body one.
Knee wraps and belts
This is the best thing I've bought for the gym bag!! Thank you!
When will you have the Large back in stock for the Original Slingshot? I checked on the website and you only have Medium and 3xl.
I’m one of those chub chubs 😂
Tim Lewis you guys are the strongest lol
How many time should I use my slingshot a week
Good morning Mark, do you have a retailer in Canada for the boar slingshot and the wrist wraps?
Can you still build muscle with the extra weight the slingshot helps you lift, or is this just mite of a numbers game ?[bench press,dumbbell press]
It just helps your form, but yes that will help build muscle, but safer
Figure it out stupid
I’m a 14yr old I hit 235 on bench I went for 245 and strained my shoulder I ordered one of these and I’m hoping to bench pain free and rehab my shoulder so I can get back to raw benching and hit 260 before I’m 15
I think I just took steroids watching this video.
What a wholesome and informative video, especially the part about keeping your brother's legacy alive
But how much can you guys bench without it?
435
You clearly didn’t watch the video. It helps you hold and press more weight, better form which in turn makes you bench more over time WITHOUT it. If i could bench 315 for 2 and used the sling shot to get 315 for 10, over time I’m going to be way stronger because I’m getting 8 more reps out of it. Breaking down more muscle, which will make me stronger in the long run. It isn’t built to use and get better numbers only while you wear it, it’s made to help you in the long run too.
I used this for the first time yesterday, and I could not have been happier with the results I got from it!!!! It kept me in the "groove", and I will tell you all it worked just as well on the Incline BB Press as well....I LOVE this thing, and I have both worn out shoulders, and cubital tunnel in both elbows, but after the session, neither area hurt AT ALL, except my pec and delts!!! GREAT PRODUCT MARK!!!!!!
I used the Slingshot (red) today for the 1st time.
My right shoulder popped about 3 months ago and knocked my bench way back, It's taken time to get my bench up without re-injuring my shoulder.
Today I did 225 for 2 on my last regular set, then put on the Slingshot and was able to do 225 for 7 and then 250 for 2.
At the end my muscles actually felt pumped, but I felt no pain or discomfort anywhere!
Excellent device and glad I finally got one.
About where I am too. Really thinking about pulling the trigger.
I live in South Korea and when I sported these at my gym all the lifters were like this
WTF -> AWE -> Let me buy
Got nothing but respect for Mark Bell. As a high school kid he was my inspiration (still is). As a men rolling into my 30s to still see him pushing weights and giving out his slingshot to the public is mad respect.
I’m 48 years old, and just got back into lifting. The slingshot is awesome. I got the reactive version, and It helps correct my form. Even the reactive one does A LOT for the negative portion of the lift, allowing you to do long pauses at the bottom and still drive up more weight. Just don’t become dependent on it all the time. I use it every other week on the final set.
Iam training for a 700 bench press currently using the maddog sling short bad ass love it.
Just an amazing invention, it's great to hear the success stories!
whats the beat at the start Markkkkk
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND OUT WHERE TO ORDER A SLING SHOT
I PUNCH IN MY NAME AND PASS WORD
AND IT COME BACK AGAIN TO DO IT
I WANT 2 OF THEM I XL AND 1 XXL
CALL ME MARK
OR SEND NUMBER TO GET YOU, AND ILL CALL YOU
Anyone know the name of the intro ?
YO! THIS INTRO NEEDS TO COME BACK!!!
What is the name of the intro song man? Please tell me
The slingshot has been a major asset to my chest day training. For anyone who is on the fence about getting it, trust me, it will help you reach your benching goals!
This thing looks awesome. I wonder if I could wear this under my shirt during a powerlifting meet.
I love using the original.. it has definitely help my bench... Either I got stronger or it just added the confidence to handle heavier weight
I just got my maddog slingshot I used it for the first time today I like it alot I'm coming back from a lebrum tear in my shoulder 8 months back in the gym now I did 425 on my bench today
Tried this out today for the first time ever and I hit two new PR’s b2b 🙌🏽
Mark, congratulations on ALL the success you have achieved. I am working on something and would love to understand each step that lead to the amazing slingshot. Would you possibly be able to explain the process beginning through end. I know its a lot to ask. I have to know each step that lead to your success? Amazing life I am well aware of. THANK YOU SIR!!!
Perfect. I’m 6’2 and had trouble with the slingshot. I’ll be sure to wear it higher up on my arms
Same dude. 6’3 and hated the red sling shot. Used it till it ripped and got this one. Anyone with long arms must own this!
I dont understand? mark is a good guy, the original slingshot cost only 55 dollars, that fucking cheap for something so genius ? !
RIP old man
I love the Slingshot. I am on my Third Wave now. Yesterday I benched raw 200 lbs. Then with the Slingshot, I benched 230 lbs. My assisted lift with the Slingshot is enhanced with a 30 lb gain. On my Third Wave now. I hope to max at the 400 lb bench. ❤
Wish I had tried this product out sooner. Bought the Red, Yellow and Black levels. Love the feel and how it keeps your form tight. I love training with a light open back bench shirt as well but this is similar and easy to use. Great top end overload tool. I’m progressing so quickly in my raw bench I’m having to put on the brakes to make sure I’m ready 😂
I want me one of those now!! my bench is super shit!!
I have the Maddog Sling shot
thank you for watching
The Slingshot Full Boar XL surpassed my expectations. I use it for bench pressing (incline and decline), tricepses and shoulders exercises and found that I am able to lift comfortably without worrying too much about my injured right shoulder. It keeps my arms within a certain range of motion as well as gives stabilizing support across my chest.
My questions now are: (1) Which product - the original, the Boar or the Dog - is best for someone with an XL width (my size), but with arms a bit thicker. The XXL arms on the Boar is good but the width across the chest was too wide. (2) Do you have a product like the Sling Shot that could be used in the reverse position for bicep workout? I imagine it might be more effective with the arms than the Bicep-Bomber-like equipment. I wonder if I should try the XXXL Boar for this purpose. I enjoy your products a lot and am just about to get another hip circle along with knee guards.
I recently purchased the reactive sling shot, and I have no shoulder pain when I bench (benching alone wasn't even possible before!), and pushups seem like a struggle of the past. I just started using it and I wish I had owned one years ago! your awesome Mark!! Thank you!
+Jazmine Robledo what does it feel like? like can you feel the rebound when you bench or do push ups??
i do not feel a rebound, but i feel like i have correct form, i do not feel like i might "pop" something if that makes any sense to you. i feel more of a rebound on the push up, the lighter the weight the more "bounce" you will get, but i have never felt safer benching and nor i have ever benched as much as i am now.
im sold! Thanks Jazmine!(:
no problem!
I have the original red one ,god what a great thing Mark Bell has made , I injured my shoulders and chest many times, couldn't bench, was so painful, with the sling shot there is no pain ,can lift a little bit more without worrying about bloody injury. Great stuff 💪
Oh man I love how you guys used Solent mike for the example on the reactive sling shot after saying it’s the easier one and sometimes women use it XDXDXD we love ya QUIET MICHAEL
What is the music playing at the intro?????!!!
If there is anyone doing their research before using this product, I highly recommend it... from pr-ing 275... 315 came up easier. Highly recommended
I have a question...I bench wide normally, pointer fingers on the knurls..and I can't seem to get my red slingshot to hit my chest properly. It wants to hit high on my chest then push the bar to my neck. Is this simply because I bench wide, and I need to narrow it to use the slingshot?
Westside red mini band.....thank lou
Yeah used it today for the first time and it gives ton of assistance............mean you can do weight you normally couldn't. Does it help you get stronger? I don't think so. Can you claim your a XXX# bencher with this....naaaaa
Mark love your vibe. hope this endeavor has blessed you...i'm looking forward to buying and trying to try and stay injury free at 55 thanks bro. Jake
Hahahaaa. Now I know what a slingshot is.. 😂😂😂😂 I was wondering why people were upset about an athlete and what all the ruckus was about recently.
A guy got chased out of an Arena in mid IPF-One competition because he was caught cheating with a slingshot. 😂
Now new competition rules as rumor has it, says every time an athlete is going to compete, their entire body will be checked first. 😂
What size do most people wear. I'm short and like 250. 2xl feels to tight to me.
Can this be used with parallel grips (palms facing each other) on a Swiss bar when benching or will it diminish the effects?
Does this not just act like a band (ie, band assisted chin-ups?).. if so, are you really
benching that whole weight?
so obviously getting the perfect fit is critical. However, is it better to err on the side of "tighter" rather than "looser"? will "tighter" cause you to leak too much energy pushing the elbows out against vs looser not giving you any benefit at all? Or....overthinking this?
I feel like the slingshot is especially great for increasing the close grip bench press since the sticking point is similar in both raw close grip and raw close grip with slingshot. Konstantins Konstantinovs also is a big fan of the slingshot. and he's a close grip bencher. supertraining06 Basically to anyone who doubts the slingshot, just explain that it will allow you to progress at benching with a slingshot. Which has the same groove as a raw bench, by default to increase and progress at a bench with the slingshot, after initial small technical fixes, to progress you will have to build more muscle and strength. Makes sense why the guys who have used it today have pushed their benches the highest of any era.
I just got the reactive! Incredible! Put me in the perfect position, and no shoulder pain! I added 10 lbs just for the fun of it and had no problem. Just a fantastic product. Thank you Mark!
I love my sling shot, I went with the red cuz I got mine back when they just started and it’s still rocking today!
Whenever that intro comes in his videos I instantly like the video, Well played Mark... Well played.
Thank God I bought a XXL, I'm 275 lbs. Can't wait to get this.
Seems like a nice invention but if you can only lift 400 lbs on bench and the you use the slingshot and all of a sudden you hitting 450 lbs bench I personally would feel like I cheated and that I didn’t really get the lift by myself but had to have help but seem good if you are working around an injury
7 years ago .
I'm using band around the lower bench rack place arms over band your ready to blast off.
What's the BEST way to clean my Slingshot. Is it Machine washable?
What's the point? Learn form and except your limitations.
I just bought one of these and I have only used it once so far, so I can't speak to long term effects. I have a bad shoulder that has stalled my bench at extremely low weights for over a year, so in desperation, I finally bought one of these.I didn't expect much.
While I was able to bench about 10 lbs more on my first use, that was to be expected. I does do a lot of the work for you at the bottom of the lift. What wasn't expected is that I actually felt the bench press in my chest and in my triceps while I was benching. I always felt it more in my shoulders while benching and would only feel it in my chest the next day and almost never felt it in my triceps. I didn't feel like my form was very different form usual and the bar still hit in the same place, but it definitely felt different in my triceps and chest. On top of that there was almost no shoulder pain.
The only drawback is that I now have several red welts on the inside of my biceps from where it pinched me, but after watching this video, I realize I have the Slingshot too high on my arms and hopefully lowering it over my elbows will solve the problem.
I'm really hopeful that this will not only improve my bench, but also allow my shoulder issues to heal up completely over time.
It will definitely! This is the best "benching aid" ever. Truly!
I used to ba able to bench alot until some dumb fuck said i was benching wrong and to keep my elbows out wings out i used to keep my elbows more tucked in and lower now i cant find my groove and it hurts my shoulders can you give advice mark i know i did it right cause his way is all shoulder work to me
Ordering my 2xl Slanger today to break that 400 raw bench plateau! Follow MASSENOMICS on TH-cam to see the upcoming inevitable gains and resulting Jacked portion of the jacked and tan equation.
With some gangster wraps to ice the cake so to speak.
Going in for surgery in about 2 weeks..fully torn pec. After I rehab and train again, since your invention helps with lifts will I still be able to maximize muscle growth. Also I've been out 9 months trying to heal up And not injur my self further
Braulio Bonilla this comment is from me 3 years back :)
I started using the Reactive slingshot a while ago, love it, I use it like Mark said when i get to my heavier lifts to either get more reps or hit larger singles, I am ready to get the next level up to the Original but wondering if I should get the double ply Maddog as I am hitting over 400 lbs now.
You and your brothers inspired me in BSF I was working out trying to be super slim and then that documentary encouraged me to try to start hitting big boy weight ... I def wanna get this looks really cool and is perfect for when it's time to train chest and I got a little pain going on can't wait to get this thanks for all the advice videos and motivation
It is a great tool Chris!!!
I dont understand. Bench press fuck pecs and shoulders and still people do it. Better do floor press if you are not a powerlifting
It’s a cheat tool.
Using artificial elastic to replace using muscle.
So with the Slingshot You can imagine you're lifting the weight with your own will
Does it transfer to raw bench? say after a month or so will you bench more without the slingshot as well, due to overload training with the slingshot?
It is suppose to help you lift more eventually without the aid of the SS
Mike T of reactive training systems coaches more top raw lifters than anyone and he recommends the slingshot. I let's you feel super maximal weights in your hands through full ROM.
Hello. I'm very interested by the Reactive Slingshot. But I'm living in France and I can't find my size (XL) anywhere in european websites that sell them. So, how many times a month/when those sellers will be supplied please ? Thanks a lot.
