I'm looking into making my own chain get up.. was about to buy a set from power systems -- they were listed as on sale for 105$ instead of the normal 210$.. than i got to shipping and said noooppee
Saw some threads on bb.com about making your own -- specifically some posts by Dracoy in this business... and while I venture into the land of chain buying/making, I was hoping to make a thread on it for others that become interested (and to get wisedom from dracoy himself! )
so far, im looking into an ebay source that sells bulk 5/8 chain for 7.79$ a foot..
I believ ethe set up looks like this:
some cheaper/thinner 3/8 chain to wrap around the actual barbell -- 6 feet per side (needs to be long for squatting use)
gonna have to find some device/gear to hook it to the bar and than to hook the heavy chains to the smaller chains
than 5 foot sections of 5/8 chains attached to the smaller chain so that they touch the ground during ROM --- a 5foot section weighs about 20 lb (???) so I would prolly use 2 or 3 per each side of barbell
so i figure i'll need 2 - 6 feet section of 3/8 chain
the hanging devices for the chain to bar and chain to chain
and 4 or 6 pieces of the 5 foot section 5/8 chain ...
