Borrowed some chains today for bench, and they were pretty awesome - now I need to get some for myself.
I'd rather not shell out $$ to eliteFTS for something I could pick up at the hardware store for cheap... but I'm not sure on some of the specifics.
People who have bought their own chains:
- what length of chain did you get?
- what grade/thickness?
- Is there any other equipment you need? I just looped them around a few times today, but I wasn't sure if there are better ways to secure them.
- How much total weight should I shoot for? 45 lbs per side seems to be the norm looking around various Westside articles, but the spreadsheet on the 4-day program calls for 10-25 lbs. I guess this question is really answered by the total length and thickness per link.
