Log Chains

Anyone use them on bench? Sounds interesting and I have some, may try after my shoulder gets better.

Chains and bands have been real popular lately with hardcore powerlifters. I've tried them and they add a whole new intensity to bench day.

I have added chains to my workouts for the past few weeks. Did not notice much difference with squats and deads. On the other hand, cleans and push presses are a lot more difficult with chains. For these lifts, the chains remove momentum from the bar and force you muscle through the lift.

you will see better results if you are trying to improve your 1 rep max on bench/squat/deadlift if you are using a suit or shirt. for those that are lifting RAW, you won't get much benefit from the use of chains and or bands, unless you have problems with your lockout.
