[TheSammel2]

Explain to me how the log thing is different from a regular bar

[tdgarguile]

[mrjingles311]

the dog was the spotter

[friendlycleaner]

I just tried out suspension trainer T's good grief are those humbling

[PedroMecardo]

Great work!

[criceto]

what are the advantages for using chains?!

[xZibeGx]

@criceto They feel harder to lift, they can move freely so u need a bit more strength to balance them

[JMEBF]

Nice,... it is very interesting the progressive resistance chains provide when performing bench press,.... Cheers!

[jhashey]

@JMEBF thanks!

[romerov002]

Oh man INTENSE!! I left my gym today because they don't have the equipment and intensity like this training.

I'm getting things already :D

[softy74]

hauhauahuau, the dog takes part of it. nice gym.

[jessedabody]

No way are the chains 100 pounds each (5)that means he lifting 1000 pounds at the top of the lift which is highly doubful especially for his size. nice video though:)

[jhashey]

@jessedabody They aren't 100 lbs each. 20 lbs each, 5 chains is 100 total! Ha, definitely not 1000 lbs, that would be nuts!

[jessedabody]

@jhashey Ok the way it looks......"5 chains-100 pounds each" lol....I was going to say.......Anyways looks like a tough workout:)

[jhashey]

@jessedabody ah, I meant each hand, not each chain.  Good catch! Thanks for the comment!

[BelindaBenn]

Yeah that's pretty crazy!

[kingicered]

WICKED!!

[jhashey]

@kingicered Thanks for checking it out! I should get another one of these workouts in soon, that was the good old days.

[OneMenWreckingCrew]

the dog is like

"What is this"

[jhashey]

@OneMenWreckingCrew hahaha "Moose" has seen crazier workouts. I think she gets it! Great comment. - Joe

No disrsepect, I think this stuff awesome but your one comment "the weight gets lighter during the part of the lift when the person is at the most disadvantaged", isnt this the equivulant of "cheating" with free weights? Wouldnt you building muscle memory at some point to be looking for the easy way out! Not trying to be rude but form and intensity taken to failure are awesome builders. Im 47 and still train some, wanted to be the oldest guy to fight in the UFC for the first time (52).

[jhashey]

No disrespect taken. Here's your misunderstanding. Let's say you can bench 300 lbs. Can you lock out 315? Probably, can you get 315 off of your chest? Probably not...so you are stuck at 300. Chains will add weight ot the top of the lift - WORKING YOU HARDER - and you are still at your max during the lower portion of the lift. So you will be lifting 300 in the hole, and up to 315 or so at lockout when you add chains. I hope that helps!

[jhashey]

Good luck with your goal as well.

[LoneStarPatriot]

That gym looks fun, and painful...sweet

[blaketoth]

how much did the chains cost?

[jhashey]

I purchased them from Iron Woody Fitness, but unfortunately they don't carry them anymore. Chances are anywhere else they will be around 80$ a pair.

[blaketoth]

okay thanks ill just check out home depot or something

[jhashey]

Usually too small at home depot and lowes. Best bet is a tractor supply store or a boating store.

[blaketoth]

okay right now im looking into getting a big tire i have a place getting it from a dirt pit in my town........then getting a rope for rope climbs and chains would be nice ill see what i can do but money is limited haha

[farzero]

lmfao this is some hardcore/creative shit.

[superCatia]

What  is the difference between using chains and a regular weigh? And how does the log press is better than regular press? I had never seen this before :)

[jhashey]

Weights rule, we just work chains in as a variations. Hanging they add instability which forces more bracing and control. When they deload on the ground, the weight "gets lighter" during the part of the lift when the person as at the most disadvantage (ie, weakest at the bottom of a bench). The log has neutral grips which I find a little easier on the shoulders. Hope that helps!

[Family3o3]

what song is this

[jawn113]

It's Metallica - Sanitarium

[ewanmethane]

Love the chain work, there's some fantastic stuff to use in there

[baloo53180]

badass

[ImpackTotalFitness]

How did you make that mase?

[jhashey]

I thought I responded but it isnt coming up! I bought that mace from Ryan Pitts at Strong Grip. However I have seen tutorials on mace making - fill a mini basketball with concrete and stick a shovel handle in. Let dry and you have a mace! Sorry this didnt come up earlier, thanks for the comments on the Bull Strength Manual!

[ImpackTotalFitness]

This your basement gym? Loving the manuel man, great work on that!

[simplesimonds]

Way to rock the chains. Those weighed scarecrows looked nasty.

[jhashey]

Ha Elliott you know we don't mess around!

I'm sure your familiar with trying to get the most out of everything in the gym!

[strengthcamp]

awesome! i never seen anyone train with chains like that before! i gotta try some of that shit!!!
