Do you think the maddog slingshot is appropriate? Do you think it has any advantages over board presses for pure tríceps training?


For the record, Mark sometimes uses the slingshot with boards. (The slingshot on his chest, with the board on top of the slingshot.)

If board presses are best for your triceps, overload your board presses and I'd bet you'd see some growth.

Hey guys thanks for the early responses!!!

Well i going to try to explain my reasoning:

I have a 265 lb close grip bench press with 3 boards for 8 reps.

Obviously my complete close grip bench press is less (i dont know how cause as i said i dont do it since years) so i think that if i would do the press with full range of motion and with slingshot´s help i couldn´t do more than 265lb (with more risk for my shouldercause the full rom ) am i correct?

On the other hand the board presses with slingshot sound interesting but i use 3 boards maybe not enough rom for slingshoot start to work...

Maybe i am overthinking all of this but i dont want to waste my money :)

Thanks a lot guys!
