I decided to buy a Ballista as an alternative to the Slingshot, since everything I had purchased up until this point from Strengthshop was amazing and surpassed my expectations.First few times I used it I got like 10KG out of it, and then the numbers in my Raw- aswell as Ballista Bench went up as well as the amount I could get out of it. Nowadays I overload my bench with 20-30KG with the Ballista. I have a whole day dedicated to benching with it, and it just overloads the hell of out of my triceps and saves my chest and shoulders at the same time.t's an bsolutely amazing training tool to have in your arsenal. Definitely buy it if you want your bench to improve or even just to add some variety into your training.
