Chains

[zwarrior99]

Umm guys Ive been around the game for a while, but I have no idea what the purpose of the chains, when it comes to powerlifting. And I know what bands, do but if somebody mind explaining them too.

I am by no means an expert but I believe they are used for like progressive resistance. Like as you lift more "links" come off the ground adding weight as you move through your ROM.

I think they're pretty much the same as bands but not quite as versatile.

[ElPietro]

Yeah, what they said. Sorta like bands in that they add isometric resistance, so the further away from the floor the resistance becomes progressively heavier.
