To be honest I usually do not use chains often. During that gym session I wanted to do some 3 or 4 board work but only one other guy showed up to train, being the holidays and such most of the guys in our crew are either taking time off or coming in at odd hours. Most of the time I use bands because they are rather easy to set up.

I used the 5 3 1 program for about 9 weeks or so ( havent taken it down from my title yet...lol ) I found it was a decent program but I find it would be better suited for beginner lifters, older lifters or lifters looking to drop some weight or get into better conditioning. Overall it's a great training template because of how simple things are, which is the whole point of it. Plus at this point I am not training 100% raw, I have been working with a new pair of briefs and a new bench shirt.
