Interested to see what he'd say for someone who's aiming for a 200kg bench like myself I've gone for the Titan Ram to help me overload a bit when benching as well as using blocks etc... Not keen on resistance bands as they seem to pull me out of line no matter how much I train with them! Any suggestions?

Member 1307, 14110 posts SQ 355, BP 240, DL 370 965.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq	My understanding is ram has a better transfer to a shirted bench and slingshot raw. But I honestly know nothing. And hungover

no really Irish Member 1196, 5908 posts SQ 312, BP 230, DL 320 862.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq	I've used the ram and hated it, felt like it was pulling me into a weird bench line similar to a shirt.

Member 1519, 1476 posts SQ 320, BP 260, DL 320 900.0 kgs @ 117kgs Eq	I have an original slingshot great tool, i use it mainly for reps at the end of a session now need to get a 2xl now though and will probably get a maddog too

Member 3567, 111 posts	would a slingshot have any place in a 531 routine?

31.6 and Obese !! Get in.... Member 869, 1355 posts SQ 320, BP 200, DL 310 830.0 kgs @ 97.5kgs Eq	^^ Could use as assistance every now and then after your working raw sets. I found it takes a lot out of the joints after 3 weeks of use, bit silly to even try but Hey Ho. My Bench is quite poor but find the maddog more than suitable.
