[mass 04]

Legs this morning

sl deadlift

[chaos]

Bench with chains
tricep work
side laterals

why the chains

The chains we have add 75lbs to the bar when lifted completely, as the bar goes down, the chains pile up on the floor and the weight gets lighter, then when you lift, the chain comes up and the weight gets heavier.....

What is the chains supposed to achieve.... why dont you just add more weight 

[nzmusclemonster]

great lifts the other day, you are really strong.

Thank you BigKevinD...... I hope to see more of your posts around these parts...... i always enjoy reading your posts......

Because you are strongest when your arms are (near) locked out and your sticking point is having the bar near or touching your chest. So the chains would add weight as you get stronger within your range of motion - the weight would be heaviest when your arms are extended, the bar is farthest from your body and you can support the most weight. When you bring the bar down to your chest where you are at your weakest, the chain will be on the floor and the weight will be lighter than how much it measures at the top.

Hmmm.... interesting...... i still have no idea what it is supposed to achieve..... if you wanted to improve your bench why not focus on the weakest part of the lift rather than the strongest

You can / should / have to do both actually. The idea with the chains is that you pile on more weight than what you normally bench, which helps your body break a plateau or get used to supporting more weight, which will have a positive carryover effect on your performance in the long run. Your talking about focusing on improving the weakest part of the lift is a good thing to do as well - think of them as two sides of a coin that compliment each other.

When it's all said and done........a bigger bench.


If you trained for a big bench you would be pressing over 400lbs in no time,NZ.


It's always seems like the pot belly, skinny arms, twig legs, oversize weight belt wearing bad asses are the ones doing them at my gym in the evening.


Nothing funnier than 7 meat heads circling the bench, speed benching 185lbs for 2 hours 


There's act one pear shaped guy that pulls a little wagon around full of all kinds of bands and chains........He has a wicked shirted bench of 365.
