Deadlift: Chains Set-up

Deadlift: Chains Set-up

Use your webbing loop to set up chains for your deadlift. These pictured are 8” (20cm) Mammut Dyneema Slings used by climbers and purchased at stores like Mountain Equipment Co-op or REI. Leader chain can be used for this instead of the webbing loops but isn’t ideal as it can damage the barbell’s knurling.

Depending on the number of heavy chains being used multiple sets can be clipped to the same loop of webbing.

See pages 57 and 58 for the position on the bar the webbing is applied to based on the deadlift stance being used.
