put my micorchains together today...

[DZLS]

i don't think i'll need them for the first 4 weeks of my 5x5 but will definitely be using them from weeks 5-12...

i'd rather make a smaller jump, then constantly be missing reps...

real easy to find, and slap together...

total of 6 of them was about $17 at Home Depot...

what do you mean by "micorchains"

I imagine he built the example at the bottom of this page on fractional weights: http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow1/Topics/Microloading.htm

The chains come out to:
1 pair = 1.25 lbs
2 pair = 2.5 lbs
3 pair = 3.75 lbs
4 pair = 5 lbs (unneaded as this is a pair of 2.5lbs plates)

 

[DZLS]

yup...

 

[Illuminati]

yup...

got cha. just for you to get a fraction increments in weight. I thought that maybe you were talking about chains, like WSB uses.

 

[nelmsjer]

I'm jealous. I want some.

 

[Phaded]

good job bro did you just tell them how to cut the chains or you had to cut them yourself?

 

[DZLS]

i just told them i needed 6 - 6 link sections... and they cut them for me...

I think I've gone overboard with my chains. I've got 8 x 20 link sections, each weighing 0.5kg/1.1lb. So I can now accurately go up by 1kg/2.2lb and throw out all my awkwardly weighted smaller plates.

4kg/8.8lb of chains didn't come cheap though!
