Using chains to workout
Has anyone used chains to help increase strength and power out of the hole?? The new gym I'm at has chains that you can attach to the barbell and I see a couple of guys using it. I know powerlifters tend to use techniques like this but what about bb'ers??
I have no idea what they weigh either, anybody have an idea?
I'm thinking about using it on a flat bench for chest and maybe the squat rack.

The idea behind chains is the closer you are to locking out the weight the heavier the chains get, because theyre hangin from the bar to the ground. Its a way to increase the top end of your lift, not coming out of the hole. Its the same concept as box squats, kind of.
