Chain Press

A challenging exercise that combines strength and coordination by pressing a chain.

Instructions

• Begin by attaching chains to either side of a barbell.
• Assume a standard bench press position on the bench.
• Grip the barbell firmly, ensuring your hands are evenly spaced.
• Unrack the barbell with the chains hanging freely.
• Lower the barbell slowly towards the chest, controlling the chains' movement.
• Press back up to the starting position, maintaining a steady pace.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Letting the chains swing excessively, losing control.
• Arching the back excessively to press the bar, risking injury.
• Gripping the barbell unevenly causing imbalance.
• Failing to maintain a controlled pace, leading to poor form.
