The flexible design of the Reactive Sling Shot® makes it versatile for various exercises, including bench press, push-ups, and dips. It is effective with any load, including body weight, making it suitable for a wide range of training routines.
Key features of the Reactive Sling Shot® include:
• Material stiffness: Level 2
• Best for those whose max bench press is 275 lbs and under.
• Allows you to lift approximately 5-10% more weight than your max.
• Reinforces proper bench press form and helps reduce shoulder discomfort by taking tension away from your shoulders and not letting your elbows flare.
• Flexible construction responds well for multiple exercises: bench press, push-ups, and dips.
• Great for volume loading on bench press, dips, and push-ups.
• Patent Numbers: 8,771,155 and 9,265,983

I have not been able to bench press due to shoulder pain and now I am able to lift again.
Was able to add 50lbs to my PR with this. Keeps the arms tucked in the proper position.
Went from 170-205 in 3 weeks definitely getting way more chest activation than before.

too tight
too much constriction in chest area I can lift higher poundage without ! spend the money on elbow/arm sleeves I ordered extra large and I am not that big in the bicep area have been working out my whole life and I tried these and now just sitting on the shelf great idea but not practical especially if you go wide grip on the bar I thought item may stretch out but seems to have receded puts too much pressure and constricts movement

Now a believer
Was skeptical at first when I was making my purchase. Now I am a believer and can't believe I waited so long to purchase. I have a torn rotator cuff and the slingshot has eliminated any pain I have from benching and now i won't do any chest presses or bench without it.

Just what I needed!
This has helped my form, shoulder supports and get to weights that I’ve never reached before. This has eliminated my shoulder pain while benching and has allowed me to focus on my form and pushing with my chest instead of on my shoulder. Love this thing and highly recommend!

The support is amazing however 2x is a little small, I'd suggest to up size when ordering.

Truly recommend the sling shot to +60 weight lifters
I am a 60 year old male. I train 4 to 5 days a week. I use the sling shot for chest work outs. The sling shot elivates shoulder pain and helps keep the proper form and prevents injury. I also use the sling shot for push ups, dips and biceps exercises.

does the job well.
I’ve had surgery on both shoulders, and the Reactive Sling Shot has been a game changer for me. It puts my shoulders and elbows in a much better biomechanical position, allowing me to bench press, do push-ups, and perform dips with little to no pain. It helps guide my movement into safer, stronger positions and significantly reduces the discomfort and instability I used to feel. Before using this, I had essentially stopped bench pressing altogether. Now I’m able to train confidently again while protecting my shoulders.

Developed severe tendon inflammation in elbow after using for two weeks.
Relieved my shoulder pain but caused severe inflammation in my elbow tendon. Cannot bench press at all right now.

Matthew D.
As Advertised
I was curious to give the reactive sling shot a try after reading so many positive reviews about the comfort and support it provides during overloading phases and heavier sets. I train solo and after a long layoff due to an unexpected surgery, it was exactly what I needed to get myself back on track. The fit is perfect and it keeps my elbows locked in at the optimal angle during the lift. I've been able to steadily increase the load and volume each week since its arrival. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Very pleased with this product
I weight right about 140, so I bought the 2 smaller sizes and am glad I did. I use the smaller one just for pushups and the next size (140-160 lbs.) for dumbbell benches, single kettle bell benches and both incline and regular pushups with a weight vest. The vest is 40 pounds and wouldn't fit with the smaller vest. I am 74 and started lifting weights 60 years ago. My current injuries are an impinged right shoulder and 2 tennis elbows, so these allow me to rehab and continue strength training. I have shared these with my 2 grandsons, who are still too small to get the full benefit out of them, but thought they were great fun and will want them in a year or two.

Helped my with persistent shoulder pain and allows me to bench press
Works amazing. I have not been able to bench press due to shoulder pain and now I am able to lift again. Keeps my arms tucked and in form and gives just enough assist at the bottom to feel very safe. If you are considering this just get it.

Awesome!
I have had issues with my left shoulder for quite some time now. The Sling Shot, corrects my form, and no pain! Love it! Great investment for anyone looking to improve form and reduce/eliminate the shoulder pain that comes with heavy pressing. Highly recommend for anyone on their fitness journey.

Sling shot XL
Arm holes are snug. Maybe sew together in the middle of sling shot to allow for more arm room.

Excellent Tool for Pain Management
I tore a muscle in my shoulder about a year ago and have been struggling to rebuild my chest/bench press. 10+ minute warmups help, but couldn't get me over the hump. This has helped me to minimize the pain significantly and get back some of the strength I've lost over the last year. My hope is that I can continue to rebuild my strength and get back to where I was before. I genuinely think this will help me to do so.

Slingshot
Well im 64 still like to flat bench for time to time But shoulders really didn't like it at all seen this product figured it was kinda sketchy ti be honest but low and behold darn thing worked like a charm even put maybe 10 to 20 pounds more this product works

This thing works great
Glad I made purchase. I only use it on my heavier sets just to take the pressure off my shoulders. It does allow me to push out a couple extra reps, which is a win for me.

Immediately from 0 to 2.5 pushups
Had shoulder surgery last year. I’ve been training to build my strength up, but have yet been able to do a single non-modified pushup. Purchased this instead of the pushup specific one so I could use it afterwards as well. As soon as it arrived, I was able to do two full regular pushups! Amazing! I’ll definitely be using this to help build my shoulder muscles while continuing to work on my form.

Amazing product
With not always having a spotter at the gym the sling shot is amazing, gives the confidence to try another rep. I also feel this tool has helped me progress through the weight.
