Kobe Bryant training commercial...

[Citruscide]

Maybe the powerlifters can help me out here...

I've heard of you guys using CHAINS and have even seen some pics... the chains are attached above and kinda hold the bar... (looks like the bar is suspended)

Well, in Kobe's commercial... he's doing squats... but the chains are attached and just hanging and laying on the floor... ?? Is that correct?

Just asking, I'm not familiar with chain work.

How much was he squatting? LoL

From what i've read.... the chains hang down, but i might be wrong.

 

[rjl296]

when he rises up in the squat, the chains come off the floor, and thus add more weight to the top yo.

some movements, ie chain suspended gm's hold the bar. not this one though

using chains while squatting is a form of accomodating resistance.


Here is a video of irishpower squatting while using chains. Taken from his site:

Hey... if chains can work for Kobe.... I'll let Kobe use them in peace...
