This is how i use chains as a bodybuilding tool. Most of the guys over at Westside do very low reps, and focus on speed and it's awesome for max strength. I like to do "normal" sets with the chains added. I fire up as hard as I can, though it's hard to tell. These beat the shit out of your body, so I only use them for 6 week stretches. Plus I did leg presses afterwards with double bands which was also extremely difficult. My ass has been beat down all day. So again, good to train for a set period of time like this, before it beats you up to much...
Here is a set of squats I did today with 4 sets of chains added. They are brutal. Don't be fooled by the 3 plates only on the bar. As you come up, the chains lift off the ground and add alot of dead weight. This is great for your core too, which is important to me after all my abdominal surgeries. Today I put 1 set of chains on bar, then added 1 plate, 2 plates, then 3 plates. Then added a 2nd chain, then a 3rd, and then a 4th. I have a 5th set, but don't think my weak abs can quite handle that yet.
Today I was focusing on quad sweep and teardrop with these. If i wanted more adductor, I would go deeper.
