Why do foreign gyms often use chains to increase their load?
The training mode of weight chain squat in gym is not only quite cool, but also one of the most effective training modes. Advantages of chain squat. One of the main reasons for using the chain to improve the speed of the bar squat is to improve the speed of the squat. After the barbell is properly weighted, your chain should be completely off the ground. When you squat down gradually, the chain will gradually accumulate on the ground, and as the chain gradually accumulates on the ground, the weight on the barbell will be reduced accordingly. When you go up, the weight of the chain will be added to the barbell again, and you will be more focused on going up at the fastest speed. This training method is not only effective for athletes, but also imitates the strength curve. In training, the chain (or elastic belt) plays an idea. The so-called "adjusting resistance" means unloading the load at the weakest part (bottom) of your movement, and then the greater the lever, the greater the resistance. This kind of training is very helpful if you lift weights slowly and steadily. This training method is most suitable for people who have the low-speed torque of American Mac trucks but not the high-speed of Ferrari cars. It can significantly improve the speed of squat, and I think it can be dragged down to sports performance. Compared with the constant pursuit of higher muscle strength, I think we should pay more attention to maintaining the maximum muscle strength and the development of explosive force. The chain will increase the ever-changing resistance. At the beginning of the action, the chain is on the ground, and during the completion of the action, the chain will gradually leave the ground and the resistance will increase. This increase in resistance changes is very beneficial to the training of muscle strength.
