we ride at dawn Member 4363, 1442 posts SQ 310, BP 250, DL 320 880.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq	Just out of curiosity, for those that have used a normal slingshot (black one) what do you get out of it in terms of 1RM... I have just returned from hospital following pneumonia/brain swelling and did a 240 friday then a steady 270 today with maybe 10kg more.... is this typical to get 40kg+ out of it or am I seriously lacking start strength? Cheers

Cheers 40kg is decent. i did a tough 230kg after doing a comfy 205kg raw bench. be surprised if i get more than 20kg reality. first time i used one i was in fact weaker.

understanding of the sport, little he has. Member 798, 9942 posts SQ 260, BP 150, DL 272.5 682.5 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq	The handful of times I used one I was getting 35/35kg out of it. It was far too big for me though, so 40kg with one that's fits sounds about right

Good point Sir. Poor show about the swollen brain Aaron, hope you're feeling better and on the mend.

All in all though it was only 5 days in hospital and I'm back training now. Small hurdle

Cheers About 40kg with the red. Although just FYI the black one is the strong one. Red one is the normal one. Blue is lighter. Yellow is new, not tried that.

Member 3241, 2043 posts SQ 1, BP 192, DL 255 448.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq	20-30kg for me, dependent upon how my shoulders are feeling etc... But, that's why I got it. Allows me to overload and get used to the weight in the hands, so to speak, but also takes the pressure off my shoulders (namely left) when pressing heavy

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts	I always was led to believe it was a similar to wraps for squat. Maybe a bit more.

#biggef Member 5263, 3492 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 260 715.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq	For me I'm training raw and use the mad dog for overload I typically get around 20-30k out of it easily but like I sad that's just using it for overloading and not maxing.

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3221 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320 810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq	I'm 10kg lighter now so it's definitely looser not maxed bench for a while on it did a reasonably comfy 220kg x 1 suspect 235kg would be about my limit (so dependent on a good line though) and raw bench somewhere round 210kg... So maybe a slight improvement seeing as it's loose now?

Lovely ass Congrats.

So maybe a slight improvement seeing as it's loose now? Do you find the 'Slaanger a usful tool in your raw training? Does it have actual carryover to your raw 1RM
