I did bench press today...5 x 455 lbs at 220.
« on: November 18, 2011, 02:47:28 PM »
OK, I used a bench press band...  8)

http://www.liftinglarge.com/slingshot.aspx


I have never used anything like that before, my training partner had it and I was curious. Anybody has experience with this stuff?

Anyway, last week I did 6 x 365 on my own...so for me it helps like 100 lbs...

Still I think I'm gonna use it like once a month, to be able to handle the big weights better and to increase my strength.

Never did reverse band bench...looks similar tho...except that sling shot stuff only helps in the lower half of the movement.

Ignoring that this band thing looks blatantly, irrefutably, irrevocably GAY, what benefit do you get from it apart from using it for ego lifting?

Yes, I'm living in the States since the summer of 2009. I have spent time here in 2006, 2007, 2008 too.

But I read the link you posted before I replied and it says that the band actually takes the load off your chest and shoulders.
So, again, how does it help you increase your strength?

that sling shot stuff only helps in the lower half of the movement.
Also it's gonna help to handle the bigger weights better...and anyway, I'm doing 6 sets before I use this, 9-14 sets after I used it...gonna use it for like once a month...so my chest gonna be OK anyway...
