Original Sling Shot®

The Original Sling Shot® is designed for lifters benching 125 kg/275 lbs and up, providing essential support for those pushing heavier loads.

Featuring level 3 material stiffness, it allows you to press 10-15% more than your max while offering moderate assistance during pressing movements. This helps reinforce proper form, reduce shoulder discomfort, and prevent elbow flare.

It’s ideal for volume training, max-effort lifts, and it trains your CNS to handle maximal loads without excessive wear and tear. Perfect for bench press — can also be used for dips and push-ups — this versatile tool is built for serious lifters.

ABOUT THE Original Sling Shot®

Throughout Mark Bell’s career, he has suffered multiple shoulder injuries due to heavy bench press training. Being one of the strongest bench pressers in the world, Mark could not just sit out and skip bench pressing due to shoulder pain. He wanted to continue to bench heavy. without the pain while reinforcing proper form, so he created the Sling Shot®.
