The Shoulder Saver™ is perfect for injured lifters as well as those rehabbing pecs, shoulders, or even elbows. Limiting the Range Of Motion with the Shoulder Saver™ is a perfect way to ease back into heavy pressing as well as keeping overreaching athletes healthy.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we all know, the board press is the single greatest accessory movement for developing a strong bench. However, not everyone has a partner that can hold the boards for them - leading to the ridiculous and dangerous method of sticking boards under your shirt.  The Shoulder Saver™ eliminates this need for a partner and allows you to bench in confidence.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe elitefts \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eRed\u003c\/span\u003e Shoulder Saver™ Pad is slightly smaller in diameter than the original, equating to a 1.5-inch board. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EliteFTS UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53677263651147,"sku":"A-REDSHOULDERSAVER","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/1308\/6027\/files\/red_shoulder_saver-_fixed.jpg?v=1760888396"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/1308\/6027\/collections\/shopify-hero-shoulder.webp?v=1775154170","url":"https:\/\/www.elitefts.co.uk\/collections\/shoulder-savers.oembed","provider":"EliteFTS UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
