Sorry if this is redundant, I couldn’t quite find the info I was looking for in other threads about this topic.
I’m having trouble figuring out which combo of chain lengths/weights to get for the strength 1 overload movments. I know you should be working with 20% of your best 1 rm in chain weight, but is there a combination of weights/lengths that is more adaptable than another as rm’s change? Funds are limited, so trying to maximaize value here. My rm’s are still changing monthly if not weekly.
So far I have a 6’ 5/8 chain pair @ 40 lbs. Could you recommend another length/weight to get? Or does it even matter that much?
In any case, all the chains I’ve used are 4’ long and 5/8" and weigh about 23-25lbs each. I would use 1, 2, or 3 chains per side to get the load right.
I was! I was going to run pb2 (just completed pb1), but it was mainly for weight-loss reasons that you corrected me on, plus I’ve been eager to start a strength-focused training template.
Plan is to do strength 1, powerlifting 2 or strengthlift 2, then strength 3, and pb2 before strength 3 or after.
Thanks! I looked for 4’ chains in my price range, but I couldn’t find any unfortunately (1st chain supply doesn’t carry them anymore apparently).
Wait a second… did you have all your chains custom cut?
All I’ve been looking at is “weightlifting chain sets”
