Westside chains-

[MsBeverlyHills]

prob a dumb question- but how much do these weigh?? these guy were benching w/chains + 140lbs in plates on the flat bench yesterday (sets of only 3 reps).

what does that equate to in total lbs?

I think if they are the 5/8" chain then it is about 30lbs or so if I remeber right. the 3/8" chain is about 15 lbs for 10ft

 

[b fold the truth]

Each piece of chain is 40 lbs I do believe. One should be able to handle more weight the closer they come to locking out the weight...so why not make the weight heavier as the lifters presses farther?

LS and B-fold have great answers. It just depends on the gauge of the chain and how many lengths are on each side.
