Chains increase resistance as you rise, making the squat harder at the top.
Instructions
- Attach heavy chains to the ends of the bar using snap hooks and leader chains. Ensure a few links remain on the floor at the top.
- Set the bar across your upper back and lift it out of the rack.
- Step into a wide stance and brace your core.
- Lower into a squat by sitting back with your hips and pushing your knees out.
- Keep your chest up and descend below parallel.
- Drive upward through your heels to stand tall, keeping tension in the chains.
