Yes.

What do you like about it 30? The only people I ever see using them just do so bc they want to put a bunch of weight on the bar. But I dont lift st a powerlifting gym
I wouldn’t use it to add weight. I would use it to squeak out more reps. Like rep out 315 without it, then throw on the slingshot and keep going at the same weight. I would just use it as a tool

Gotcha. I use a spotter for that but Im more likely to just keep dropping plates.

Slingshot is great for training your groove imo. Ques you to keep your elbows tucked. For a lot of guys it completely eliminates bench-related shoulder pain.
When used to use it a lot, I did pretty much what 30 said. Work up to a double or triple raw, then add the slingshot for reps at the same weight.
