 Next question is from preacher man Joe. Are there any benefits in adding bands or chains on the big three or Any other workouts or is it too much over training? This is one of the most I love doing that It's one of the most effective Ways to augment or change your training to produce better results one of the most effective by far now Does it cause more damage? Not really chains. Maybe chains can be pretty you really get sore and it beats you up a little not bands though I mean I put bands on a squat or on a deadlift or a bench and It feels good. I don't feel like I over train. I see faster results strength athletes have been using bands and chains forever, I know the Soviets use them way back and People just get Strong doing them and now why why is it so what's so different about it, right? I remember when I was younger and I saw people using chains I thought just put a weight on the bar. What's the difference? Why would you I thought they were just trying to look cool, right? Changes the strength curve It does I mean when you lower a weight the the links hit the ground so the weight gets lighter as you get higher with your Squad or whatever though the links come off the ground it gets heavier and it matches your body's strength curve Yeah, the bottom of a squat you're weaker than you are at the top So what if we had a weight that was heavier at the top and lighter at the bottom which that's so people know It really changes that exercise because traditionally the squats the opposite Yeah, it doesn't get harder as you get it's the same Yes, the same actually gets easier as you get to the top and it's easier for you to lock out because the weight Gets easier as you get towards the end when you have the chains the opposite is happening So it really changes that exercise. So that's how I look at this is it's almost like hey If I've been doing squats for let's say three or four weeks back loaded Same same everything pretty much as far and a similar load. That's a nice way to kind of change it up It's almost like changing the exercise and the same thing goes like as if you would cycle in and out of exercises Is you wouldn't want to do chains and then never not do chains It's one of those things that you have that's a that's a tool and use it in your workouts Intermittently and then pull it out and I think there's great benefits to it I mean in terms of treating these types of lifts like a skill I think it's one of those beneficial tools, especially when you start to naturally kind of find that limitation load wise and to be able to introduce this and Have that sort of bridge between you know that next leap in terms of load It's nice to be able to get a bit more weight on the bar and be able to You know work through that or less weight and make it You know add that extra bit of resistance. So you have to kind of fight that extra bit So I think it's a nice kind of intermediary type of Device and tool and something to include if you really are trying to progress forward and something that is your goal Especially if you're a strength athlete, of course, this is something to consider But you're an average person. I mean if you're just kind of hitting a wall And you need you know to try a new technique I think this is definitely beneficial in that regard. Yeah, it's one of my favorites It's absolutely one of my favorites and when I do it and I do it right. It's like I get great results every time So if if you're still in your beginning stages of training Focus on technique and form a lot of stuff once you get to your you know Intermediate levels and you want to test new things start with bands chains are much more complicated Require and they do beat up the body a little more and then watch how it feels it feels good It's one of the weird things about it You put a band on a bench press and you can feed and if you and what's that? What's it called that the thing that mark Bell sells it sells that goes over your arms and slingshot slingshots very similar Yeah, you know as you go down the weight gets easier and as you go up it gets heavier very similar to resistance bands It's just a very convenient same same kind of concept
