This video shows you how to DEADLIFT WITH CHAINS…
Deadlifting with chains you will improve your starting
strength and your LOCKOUT POWER.
Chains accomodate resistance, making the weight
heavier at lockout, and lighter when the bar is on the
floor at the start of your Deadlift.
You DO NOT need a loading chain in order to Deadlift
against chain. Instead, you can just drape the chains
over the bar (as you’ll see in the video).
Chains are a great tool for any powerlifter, strength
enthusiast and athlete who requires more speed,
strength and power (so if this sounds like you, then I
highly recommend that you incorporate them into your
training).
One thing to watch out for when Deadlifting with chains
is to make sure that the chain is directly under the bar
or placed slightly back towards you at the start.
You do not want the chain in front of the bar because
it will pull you forwards as you lift, which is both dangerous
and inefficient.
Experiment with the chains and let me know how you get
on.
Here is my current Deadlift training plan:
Week 1: 60% x 3 doubles (against 20kg of chain)
Week 2: 65% x 3 doubles (against 20kg of chain)
Week 3: 70% x 3 doubles (against 20kg of chain)
Week 4: Work up to a heavy single, then do a heavy
partial (from around knee height)
Feel free to copy my training routine and get your
Deadlift going UP!
