Squat with Chains
The Squat with Chains is a powerlifting movement that targets your quadriceps. Here's how to do it with clean form.
How to do the Squat with Chains
- Drape chains evenly over each sleeve so they pool on the floor at the bottom position.
- Unrack and set up in your squat stance.
- Squat to depth — chains deload at the bottom and reload as you ascend.
- Accelerate out of the hole to overcome the increasing load at the top.
