I have been a proponent of them ever since I first tried them. I actually took the idea from an article on the training ways of prisoners. I got the largest link chain I could at like a Home Depot and measured from the floor to where the bar would be at the top of my press.. made a loop of smaller chain to slip over the bar and let the rest hang just off the floor.. I made it long so that when the bar is at the bottom of the movemet the chain is coiled on the floor.. as you lift, links come off the floor increasing the weight so the bar becomes much heavier at the top than it was at the bottom.. I then added 3 shorter lengths of chain only half way up so instead of one link at a time it's now 4 that are the increase, any number of combinations can be used there.. helps immensly with sticking points.. I was glad to see someone else used and liked training with chains.. Keep it up.. their awesome.. Andrew I have used chains for a few years now..
