Reactive Sling Shot Mark Bell Bench Press, Dips, and Push Ups – (Level 2 Tension)

Used once so far. Absolutely a game changer for relieving shoulder pain during benching. I had been struggling to bench often because of my right shoulder. My max was 240, lately struggled to hit 225. With the Slingshot I hit 255, then put 225 up for 6 reps. Not one bit of pain!!! It takes just a bit of stress off of you at the most stretched out position and helps reinforce good form. 100% worth the money.

I had a mild shoulder separation injury, and found this slingshot device from a youtube search.The inventor Mark Bell markets this as a tool to use after your working set, to crank out some extra reps at heavier weight to exhaustion.Instead I warm-up, then use this device for the first few sets, to help ensure my technique is in good form. Then after a few sets when I don't feel any strain in my shoulder or triceps, I take off the band to try a regular set, after the band conditioned me on proper form.So far this device has helped me improve my pressing technique, and so I no longer feel strain in my left shoulder, after the device helped guide me on not pulling back my shoulders too far in the press.I can press 225 lbs for 8 reps with the band, and without the band I was able to press 225 lbs x 5 reps (clean reps, not forced).Note if your arms are already muscular, and you have defined triceps, you may need a size larger. My body weight was 177 lbs and I ordered a Large size, but it was too tight to fit around my arms, as I work out my triceps a lot. So I ordered the Extra-Large XL and it fit much better. Ideally one should fit the slingshot band so its above your elbows and if you bend your arms it does not press up too much against the cuffs.

Do you even lift? If so, and you haven't used any Mark Bell products yet, then maybe you really haven't. I've got the hip circle as well as this slingshot and both have allowed me to lift more consistently and heavier. Obviously there's a lot of factors that go into all of that, but the fact that I can manage current injuries and/or minimize future ones is the main reason these are so effective. Proper technique and form is of utmost important and tools like these definitely help and allow you to get stronger more efficiently. I won't go into the details because there are a bunch of articles and videos you can peruse to know how these work.Just know, quality-wise these are unmatached. Although you can say they are just rubber bands, they are a lot more than that too. Great design and quality of materials means that this slingshot will last a lot longer than your typical rubber band. Being comfortable is a huge part of what makes this good investment because you'll only really use something if it is easy to use. Again, great product for the serious lifter, but maybe a little much for your typical globo-gym poseur.

Bought this to help while do Chest exercises, such as bench press. It definitely helps.

Blew the posterior labrum out, this keeps my shoulder way more stable. Great product!

I was a bit skeptical before I purchased this but thought I would try it based on some other reviews. It takes a little practice to get it on but after that there are no problems. I've had should surgery on both shoulders and one of my biceps so I was looking for something that would provide stability and support without the aggravation of using a bench shirt. This product it definitely that. You won't need help getting it on and you can feel the support where you need it the most - when the bar is touching your chest.I have read some of the reviews about those raving about increasing their bench with this product. I have no ego to bruise and how much I bench does not matter. If these things are important you, well yes, this is also a great product.Definitely worth the money.

I’m not one to write a review but this things so great I feel like it’s my civic duty. It is fantastic. Up until the day I got this I hated benching. It always feels like trash and I never saw any real gains. My first time using it I didn’t do a crazy amount more weight but definitely more. The chest activation was phenomenal though. I had a pump and chest fatigue that I had not felt in years. I have no doubt my numbers are going to go up significantly. It definitely shows my bench form was just ass.I’m 5’11” weight 178 very lean and fairly muscular. I got the xl. If I get bigger I may have to get the 2xl because it’s pretty tight to get on.Before I bought this my friend let me try his off brand one. It worked but slid down my arm towards my shoulder socket. If you’re on the fence there is a substantial difference in quality from the slingshot. I would recommend spending the 50 bucks and get the name brand. It just felt better on the lift and stayed in place.

This is my 3rd blue slingshot. I also have 2 reds. Well worth the money.
