  • Level 3 material stiffness: Provide moderate assistance to support shoulders and improve form on heavy presses.
  • Designed for 275 lbs and up: Support heavy bench work and deliver stability during max-effort pressing sessions.
  • Allows 10–15% over max: Train your CNS and strengthen pressing power while keeping shoulder strain down.
  • Reinforces proper form: Keep elbows from flaring to improve shoulder comfort and ensure controlled pressing.
  • Bench, dips, push-ups ready: Expand pressing volume or perform max efforts while keeping wear and tear down.
  • Volume and max loading: Provide structured bench press work to build power and ensure consistent progress.

The Original Sling Shot is designed for lifters benching 275 lbs and up, providing essential support for those pushing heavier loads. It features level 3 material stiffness, allowing you to press 10-15% more than your maximum while offering moderate assistance during pressing movements. This helps reinforce proper form, reduce shoulder discomfort, and prevent elbow flare.

This versatile tool is ideal for volume training and max-effort lifts. It also trains your central nervous system (CNS) to handle maximal loads without excessive wear and tear. While perfect for bench press, it can also be used for dips and push-ups, making it a valuable addition for serious lifters.

Key features of The Original Sling Shot include:
• Material stiffness: Level 3
• Best for those whose maximum bench press is 275 lbs and up.
• Allows you to lift approximately 10-15% more weight than your maximum.
• Reinforces proper bench press form and helps reduce shoulder discomfort by taking tension away from your shoulders and not letting your elbows flare.
• Helps train your CNS to maintain power under maximal loads without excessive wear and tear.
• Great for both volume and maximal loading on bench press.
• Can also be used for dips and push-ups.
• Patent Numbers: 8,771,155 and 9,265,983

A bench press training tool that effectively reduces shoulder pain and supports heavier lifts. Customers said it "eliminates shoulder pain" and helps achieve new PRs, with many reporting 15-40 lbs strength increases. However, sizing can be inconsistent - some found it too tight on biceps while others needed larger sizes than recommended.

Maximizes strength

Excellent Product

I bought the sling shot to help with shoulder pain in benching. It has helped a ton. No more pain benching due to elbow flaring out. Love the product.

Size up one

You know i measured my biceps and went off the table and ordered the recommended size and it's too small which is a little frustrating but it's stretches. As far as how it works I can bench almost 40lbs over my normal and still do sets of 5 making my normal a little bit easier every time raw.

Good product

I use this product with wrist straps for flat bench medium to heavy weight. It helps with proper movement and less shoulder/elbow pain.

Great Support Needed!

Used the XXL Sling Shot for flat bench today. I really need the support the sling shot gives me. I had a total right shoulder (arthro-plasty) performed in 2017. Or, a total shoulder replacement. This gives me support and helps ensure my form while performing bench. I also enjoy using it for dips as well. Same reason as above. I feel more comfortable with your product in use during these routines. I turn 71 in June. I have been weight training for awhile. Would highly recommend using the sling shot. Protects your shoulders, ensures better technique.

My strength is back

I was skeptical at first about the product, I tried different things since I injured my shoulders and nothing worked until the @originalslingshot. Gradually I started with 135 only 8 reps now almost 2 months I can push 225 and my shoulder is not flaring. Im really glad I give this a shot.

A must have for serious benching

This product not only eliminates shoulder pain from a past injury when benching but it has taken me from 315 to 365 in 5 months. Absolute must in a lifters bag.

My Shoulders are Intact

I purchase the Sling Shot to protect my shoulders. It works. Almost immediately the pressure was relieved. With Sling Shot I feel as though I can lift more weight.

Works great

After using this for a couple of weeks, I’m hitting new maxes on bench and have noticed a much better pump in my pecs after chest day. It eliminates shoulder pain during heavy weight bench and lets me get those last few reps to really work my chest.

Nice but small

I'm not sure if it's me or what but it doesn't seem to go far enough up my arms. Very uncomfortable on your biceps.

Love It

I have been trying to get to over 300lbs on the bench but my shoulders have been in bad shape over the years. The sling shot has really helped with the pain and allowed me to increase the weight I can bench that protects me from further injury. If you just want to increase weight and feel good, I highly recommend the sling shot.

Exactly What I Needed

As a solo, at home lifter, this is exactly what I needed. Have already increased my reps and 1RM when not wearing it, thanks to the Slingshot. Allows me to lift heavy with no pain. Plus, my form feels a lot better now when I’m not wearing it. Awesome to add in on the later sets. Max was 210 w/o, was able to put up 250 with the Slingshot. Now I am at 220 w/o thanks to the Slingshot.

Performs as expected and then some

I’m 46 and have been battling an old shoulder injury from a younger life. The slingshot has helped me feel more confident in my bench press. Not only has my confidence grow, as well as my reps and weight. Thank you!

Damn joints

My shoulders and elbows are shot. My pegs have grown ever since using this. I’ll never not use it. My physique is improved immensely. Not gonna feel like I have a bird chest and my next competition.

Original Sling Shot

I bought the XL version based on my measurements. 5’8”, 185, arms 15”. The XL version was phenomenal until my arms started growing so I bought the XXL. It works well but the length and space around the arms didn’t give me the tension the XL had so I was getting more of the weight on my chest with less help from the Sling Shot. If the XL had more space for bigger arms then it would be more helpful. Otherwise, it has been a tremendous help with rehabbing my shoulders that I think were injured by heavy weight on a press machine. I have benched 305 so far and could not have done it without the Sling Shot. The confidence it gives you is unmatched.

Mark Bell Original Slingshot

I love my new Original Slingshot from Mark Bell. It has helped me hit a new PR which is 10% more with it on as described. I haven't been able to do this in several years. I'm 48 years old and currently 181 lbs I benched 350 lbs while wearing it. I since then got a machine bench which I'm expecting today. I'm not sure if I it will allow for me to use it in the same way as using a free weight bench, but I'll test it out. Either way I love it to do push-ups and I also love how it keeps me tight while performing my lifts. I've purchased several products from Mark Bell and this GREAT COMPANY and will continue in the near future.
