    Looks like a nice training aid......I will pick one up
    Depending on which one you choose will determine how much "help" out of the hole. The reactive (blue) doesn't give much help at all. The original (red) give a little bit of help. The maddog (black) is a double ply so it gives a good deal of help.

    I bought the black one probably 2 years ago. It does help a good bit.I found it very hard to unrack the weight by myself.I lost my training partner so I train along and never use it anymore.

    Re: Mark Bell's Slingshot

    this is interesting ...so you get more or less reps at first...

    I realise if it forces a better form ..which leads you make progress...

    Sister you say your shoulders hurt less.... ( shoulders are always my issue too)
    the part that bothers me is it forcing good form ...but when you finally go heavy do you risk going back to your bad habits?

    so do you feel it is more like a shirt ...helping the lift
    or is it more like a really tough coach that is really watching your form?

    You have to find your groove which could take a couple of training sessions but you do it'll help you get more reps.

    It actually helps improve your form so when you take it off your form is better. Form always breaks down a bit when you lift near max weights though.

    thanks for the honest answer...
    I seem to have one sore shoulder at a time... and it seems that once feels good...the other one starts to bother me..

    this looks like it will take about a month to get used to though..

    There are a series of prehab movements he should do like shoulder dislocations and other exercises that will help increase the health of his shoulders. One of my training partners has an entire routine he performs 4-5x a week because his shoulders are very fucked up for lack of a better word and he's able to still make gains and progress in all his lifts.
