Anyone ever tried bench pressing with chains on the bar? I understand that as you lift the bar the weight increases because of the chain but what would the benefit be for doing this?

Yes, as you bring the weight up from your chest the weight increases from when you were bringing it down because obviously your lifting the chain with it. I've never actually tried it because I don't know where to get one. I'm not trying to hijack your thread...but does anyone know where you can buy these chains?

Do they have chains that weigh enough? How much should they weigh like 20lbs. each?

yes; dynamic lifting- as bar comes down total weight decreases as chain unloads on floor. weight increases and you drive it up. good for working on mid-point on bench.

Yep , if you got a striong lockout you put the chains in there to increase the load where you are stronger in the R.O.M , this gives you ~ equal overload throughout the range

I got mine at Home depot...you just add more chains to add more weight. I use carabeaners to make sure they stay there.
