What do the chains go for about in specialty hardware stores? Home Depot sells them for like a couple bucks per foot for the 3/8".....so it will be quite expensive.....

They're certainly not cheap. I can't remember what I paid, but I want to say it was close to $70 or so for two five foot lengths.

[DEVILsSON]

Damn that's gonna cost a pretty penny...was hoping to get it within 50....How much does that 5 foot length weigh? I was hoping to get about 50lb worth of total chains....have a feeling it's gonna be A LOT more than I had anticipated...

Every time you post a DL session, I'll just hop in to tell you I'm envious, OK?

[DEVILsSON]

Thanks Wilhelm. Likewise with your squat. Damn my stupidity/bum knee......tried doing bodyweight squats....my knee felt like a block of wood....bah..

I cannot describe the lethargy I am experiencing right now. O boy. The flu is kicking my ass.....the workout today was not what i needed.....reminds me of how i felt after 700 deadlift...maybe worse...

At least there was one amusing moment....one guy was using straps for 95lb shrugs....i thought it was 115....then my friend corrected me....nope just 25s.....through 1-2 inch ROM...guy was smallish....but I expect my mother to do more...hell my grandmother when alive could have done more....def lifted my spirits a bit....

::end of bitching:::...lol

Agreed and likewise.

[DEVILsSON]

not really ...keep in mind that I was there for over 3 hours....I typically rest a while between work sets but last couple sessions I was literally falling asleep....

gained a couple lb back and feeling much better so will see how much strength I lost next workout...
