been looking around, and the hardware stores only carry up to a 3.8" in chain, which isnt very heavy. at all. i have a feeling there are specialty shops that will carry something more heavy duty, but i cant think of anything. maybe a trucker supply store? where did you guys get heavy chains from?
there is a uhaul right by my house, perhaps ill jump the fence tonight and see what i can find. thanks for the t-nation link, ill look into those options. im sure the yellow pages will have some kind of farming or tow supply store locally.
find a better hardware store. seriously. (or just see if the one you went to can order bigger chain... bet you they can, just don't stock it regularly)
The nature of my responses is generally related to the quality of the question. Not always, but usually.
IMO just go for the 5/8" chain. Everything is else is too light and just becomes a pain if you want to go heavy.
while i got you guys in here, no point in making another thread. anybody train with bands? im thinking of ordering the athletic 20'' package from ironwoody. http://www.ironwoodyfitness.com/fitness-bands-short-stretch-bands-purchase.php 3 different resitances, $70. not bad for 6 bands. any reason i should look elsewhere?
cool, just wanted to make sure they're a quality product. i figured these would be real good if if im on vacation or out of town. step on them, do deadlifts/squats. put one over back, and you have weighted pushups. and of course they are supposed to be great on DE days and working your entire strength curve on ME days.
