Was thinking about doing a SM comp or two in Feb, using a two day training program - just 2 x implements for 3 week cycles, dropping gym work & still rolling twice. Curious if this would work - Ryan Phillips used to drop all gym work a month or so out & he came up pretty good. Thoughts Doc?

I think SM is so much about technique (and being injury free) so it could be a good recipe. You are technically very good at SM so this will work in your favour. Your conditioning will be more specfic and focused. Ryan knows what he's doing.

Great minds huh?! :grin:

I actually wonder if I was a little overcooked last year hence a terrible performance on the day. This way I'll test that theory at least, at best I'll be undercooked!

Here's the set-up on box squats the other day:

77 kg of chain? I'm not sure what the ideal ratio of chain to weight is? Or even if there is one. I have never been over 40 kg but I am thinking about it.

Louie says the following with regards to squats:

First use a set of 1/4-inch-link chains that attach to the bar sleeves. We suspend a metal ring from the 1/4 inch chains, which regulates height of the 5/8 chain from the floor. Loop the 5/8 inch chain through the metal ring so about three chain links are lying on the floor when you are standing. When you are sitting on the box, slightly below parallel, half of the chain will be unloaded onto the floor.

How much chain should you use? If you squat 350 or less, use one set of 5/8 inch chain, equaling 40 pounds at the top. If you squat about 600 pounds, use about 60 or 70 pounds of chain at the top. If you squat 800 pounds, use 80~120 pounds of chain at the top. As you can see, about 10% of your squat weight should be added with chain. If you are doing sets wIth 400 on the bar, you will be standing up with 520. An 800 squatter whose top training weight is 480, or 60%, will add 80-120 pounds of chain to the bar, equaling 600 at the top.

I'm probably at the top end of the recommendations & I aim for a full load/deload where possible (so I know exactly how much weight at the top & bottom of movement). Thoughts on this?

Yeah I agree with the full deload and I would have less than 3 rings on floor at top.

I doubt it really matters too much. The chains give good stability I find. I might add a bit more chain on my next 3 week cycle.

I've got about another 35 kilos of chain at the gym (and another 30 or so at home) but I feel I need more bar weight rather than adding this.
