Squat with Chains

Use chains to challenge your squat strength and control.

Chains increase resistance as you rise, making the squat harder at the top.

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Set the bar across your upper back and lift it out of the rack.
  3. Step into a wide stance and brace your core.
  4. Lower into a squat by sitting back with your hips and pushing your knees out.
  5. Keep your chest up and descend below parallel.
  6. Drive upward through your heels to stand tall, keeping tension in the chains.
