Bench press 135x10, 185x6, 225x3, 255x3, SlingShot 305x3, 335 (3+) x 8 reps
That was unexpected, especially since the 305x3 with SS felt more like 310x3 without SS.This is also a cycle 8RM with the SS.
Joker sets 345x3, 355x3, 365x2 - all felt pretty good.
Neutral-grip pullups 50 total reps
Standing front press 135x3, 165x1, 190 x 2 singles, 200 x 3 singles
EZ bar wall curl 30 total reps
EZ bar pullover 30 total reps

It was a truism that all civilizations were basically neurotic until they made contact with everybody else and found their place within the ever-changing meta-civilisation of other beings, because, until then, during the stage when they honestly believed they might be entirely alone in existence, all solo societies were possessed of both an inflated sense of their own importance and a kind of existential terror at the sheer scale and apparent emptiness of the universe.

8 reps at 335 is good stuff. how much do you reckon that you get out of the slingshot, really?
Realistically, I'd say maybe 30-35 pounds on a good day (like the 335x8 day). On average, 20-25.
Also I see a bigger boost in repping strength than when I do reps in the 1-3 range. I.e. my 8RM will be significantly higher with a SS than without, but my 3RM might not be that much higher at all. One major benefit of the SlingShot is that it eliminates a lot of the shoulder pain and discomfort at the bottom, which for me is a bigger help when doing reps.
