MADDOG SLING SHOT
The Maddog Sling Shot is a bench press training tool. This was designed by Mark Bell after numerous shoulder issues and continual pain. This has been designed to teach optimal form and technique during the bench press.
It works in a similar fashion to a bench shirt. The main differences however are it is much softer,easier to get on/off and versatile. This model the the big boss of the range and is a double ply version of the original. These means you get much more assistance and provide greater overload.
This is designed for people benching upwards of 180kg. The doubly ply nature lends itself to replicating a bench shirt more accurately.
The Sling Shot simply slides up over the upper part of your arm and can be used in any variety of pressing exercises such as bench press, floor press, chain or band presses etc.
The Maddog Sling Shot has the most resistance in the entire range and is only recommended for people that can bench over 200kg. This is pretty heavy but there is a wide range of more suitable sling shots for other lifters.
This applies a large amount of overload and will allow you to handle more weight/reps/volume.
The Maddog Sling Shot is best suited to maximal effort work in the 1-3 rep range.
