Throughout Mark Bell's career, he has suffered multiple shoulder injuries due to heavy bench press training. Being one of the strongest bench pressers in the world, Mark could not just sit out and skip bench pressing due to shoulder pain. He wanted to continue to bench heavy without the pain while reinforcing proper form, so he created the Original Sling Shot.
The Full Boar Sling Shot is made of the same material as the Original Sling Shot, but has angled sleeves to fit larger arms. It also engages the weight sooner during the lift, giving the lifter a little more assistance than the Original model.
The Full Boar's unique design and bold color is inspired by Mark Bell's brother and director of Bigger, STronger, Faster - Chris "The Boar" Bell. Chris's unique mechanics and needs after a serious tricep injury required a Sling Shot that engaged earlier and gave more support through the entire range of motion.
US Patent Numbers 8,771,155 and 9,265,983
- Material stiffness: Level 4 | Best for those whose max bench press is 315 lbs and up. | Allows you to lift approximately 10-20% more weight than your max. | Angled sleeve construction allows you to feel assistance earlier in the lift and allows lifters with larger arms to fit more comfortably. | Reinforces proper bench press form and helps reduce shoulder discomfort by taking tension away from your shoulders and not letting your elbows flare. | Helps train your CNS to maintain power under maximal loads without excessive wear and tear. | Great for both volume and maximal loading on bench press — can also be used for dips and push-ups. | Patent Numbers: 8 771 155 and 9 265 983
