Our story
How we got our start Mark was struck with an idea on how he could train his chest while injured (torn pec) and came up with the idea for the Original Sling Shot back in 2008. Two years later he released the patented product online and it quickly became the go to device for anyone wanting to bench press. What makes our product unique All of the products we make are created with one goal in mind: To help you workout smarter and safer. Used by the world’s best athletes, we stand behind all our products and put them through rigorous testing before we offer them for sale.

A plus quality, great for pt/ functionality, no skin irritation for me
A plus quality. Particularly for physical therapy, anyone with hyper sensitive skin, etc. It definitely has resistance however I’d characterize it as a functionality piece of equipment rather than muscle building. Regardless, you need both. I’d recommend this hands down.Source: spine surgery, acl reconstruction, thumb ligament reconstruction, cyclops lesion in my knee. I know enough to confidently recommend this. People need to stop leaving useless reviews..they help no one.Thanks for the product. Don’t hesitate to purchase People

Great for warming up prior to squats, will activate your glutes as well
I’m a physical therapist, avid weight lifter and have watched 1 too many Mark Bell youtube videos which resulted in me buying the sling shot.Sizing: I’m 5’8 and 170 lbs- I bought the large and I am pleased with my sizing decision. Several of my clients have used this including my wife who is 130 lbs.Durability: I’m writing this review after using this product for two years. I’ve used it heavily and have had no issues. The band is still like new and has not lost any resistance. I use it prior to squatting as a warm up. My wife uses it for the same purpose. I’ll put it around my thighs and do monster walks (forwards and backwards) and side to sides.Exercise: I like that this band does not slip off and it offers a good bit of resistance. Is it my go to for glute exercise, no, but it’s great for glute activation prior to doing squats, hip thrusts or three weigh hips with weights.Compared to bands: I would say they serve two different purposes. I mostly like the sling shot for warm up and a few exercises. With bands you can do a lot more (three way hip, shoulder work, rows, back exercises etc). The sling shot is best for warming up your lower body.Overall: Great product, held up well, good to use before a squat warm up.

A fantastic hip external rotator (and knee stabilizer) aid!
I have been lifting for many years, and as hip muscle function, in particular the external rotators of the hip, is commonly found to be deficient in athletes, leading to less control of the knee, and increased rates of knee pain and risk of knee injury. Despite this awareness, and occasionally using bands personally and to coach clients, I found the SlingShot hip circle to be absolutely fantastic as an aid to squatting. My first try with this led me to comfortably do multiple sets of Goblet squats (a form of front squat) at varying foot placement widths, along with a strong feeling of lateral gluteal activation unlike any I’ve felt before. I am 6’0″, 220lbs, and the 15″ was good for me. However, for a greater challenge, I immediately ordered the 13″ band for me, and one for my wife as well. I am very enthusiastic about including the band in my leg workouts from now on, and I can see where this will be an invaluable aid to squatters everywhere.Addendum of 21 Jan 16: the hip band is also effective for three additional things, one obvious and two not-so-obvious.1) Obvious-to work the hip/pelvic muscles involved with sacral stabilization, apply the band just above or below the knees, lie on your back, with your legs bent and feetc flat on ground (situp style), and open and close your knees. Alternatively, keep one knee vertical and externally rotate the other knee. Then switch. This helps with isometric/eccentric training, a critical function of lateral rotators.2) Not obvious-for chest wall splinting, e.g. sore ribs, this works as a nice wrap. I’m 6’0″, 230, 40+” chest, and the 15″ red band fit perfectly snugly.3) Breathing-an aid to practice diaphragmatic breathing, use the wrap around the chest to restrict its motion and allow lateral “belly breathing”.

Love it but it slips!
I ordered a large based on the recommendation listed on their site but I should have ordered a medium. I’m 5’4”, 147lbs and the band constantly slips. I have to keep adjusting it while working out which is pretty frustrating because the whole purpose of ordering this band was to avoid any slipping. I do love it, seems sturdy.. I just wish it wasn’t so big!

Robust construction, good amount of stretch while maintaining tension. Great for warming up your hips and glutes before a leg workout. Over all great product. Size guide is also pretty accurate.
