as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11329 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | I do traditional slinging and also sling with a modified Pro diablo using flat therabands. I love it and do do traditional slinging more often these days maybe 2 or 3 times a week whilst out in the country with the dog. Here's a vid using tech I don't normally use. I normally throw fig. 8 style. And here's a short clip of my unbanded pro diablo without the arm support attached. | ||

Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | Slingshot as in this thing right?: http://www.howmuchyabench.net/ I've had one now for a couple months, used it on pretty much every bench session. I can handle a lot more volume, with zero shoulder pain. That has been translating into an easier time in PL gear and bigger bench numbers. I don't expect it would be that great for raw lifters as it tends to help off the bottom like a shirt, but for lifters who train for equipped competitions like myself it's really very useful. | ||

Big fish in a small pond Member 1150, 2101 posts | I meant the bench slingshots :P and i was just thinking for a raw lifter it would be good to overload the lockout? | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | So you guyts see this as a viable alternative to board prressing? That might just make me quite interested. Any other thoughts chaps? Worth the money? Easy to use on your own? | ||

some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | How do these things compare to a board press? Or in another words what board dose it feel closest to? 2, 3, 4...? Or to put it another way whats the carryover? | ||

Morrisons - rump - 7£ Member 2206, 11578 posts SQ 228, BP 150, DL 260638.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | It is similar to a board press in as much as it as an effective tool for overloading the triceps. It is kind of like a reverse band bench, only easieer to set up and forces you to tuck more | ||

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | Easy and safe to use alone? If so, I may be interested in one as I need something to spice up my pressing training. | ||
