Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.... What size depends on how heavy you want them to be.

what size is the best to use for raw benching ?

 

[ironfreak83]

you're prolly gonna want 1/2inch, 5/8, or 3/4 inch chains. Doesn't matter for raw or equipped.

I bought mine a a local industrial supply store. They sell stuff like safety equipment and they also had chains. I have 5/8" x 5' and a pair of 9/16" chains. They came out of their scrap chain bucket and I paid by the pound. I also have some 3/8" chain that is certified to 7500lbs that I use to suspend the bar from my power rack. That stuff was a bit pricey.
