Anyone use them for training ( squatting and bench ) ?

Now that I'm slowing starting to get my home gym in order I'm looking at making some nice proper chains.

Has anyone here made some ? If so what size did you get ?

Sure I could google this , but I would like to hear from some of the guys that use them and who have made some..

Thanks.

I like the feel of chains when benching. Rather than spend the crazy amount of money on big thick chain I just went to home depot and got them to cut me 6 - 6" lengths of their heaviest chain.

The smooth increase in weight as you are locking out really enforces an explosive rep.

What was the cost ?
