Thanks! Though I have been primarily training as a powerlifter, I have found that oly style lifts are so much fun and such a challenge that I ought include some of the principals in my workouts. Front squats, jerks, cleans... etc. Everyone can benefit from these lifts, and my strength and reflex time have really gone up!
I neglect the bench, however, but that is matt ering to me less and less, becuause I have never been a very good bencher. I switched to an underhand grip recently, which I much prefer, so I am working my way back up again in poundages.
Could someone explain to me chains and resistance bands? Is the weight not enough resistance? How could/should I employ them in powerlifting training?
* Legion * said:
Chains and bands provide a variable resistance to an exercise.
The chains are draped over the bar, so they will increase the weight being lifted when the bar is far from the floor. As the bar approaches the floor, some of the links at the end of the chain begin to rest on the floor, resulting in a lesser weight being on the bar. As the bar moves away from the floor, the total weight being lifted increases as more of the chain comes off the floor.
You use them when you're trying to break a sticking point near lockout.
Bands have a similar effect, although the process to use them is slightly different.
I don't use chains, but I do have bands.

Yep, changes the linearity of the lift. You can also use bands in the reverse, so that the bottom of the bench is easier, by having them 'suspend' the bar in a power rack (you wouldn't want that many bands to actually suspend them of course).
Here's some articles on chains and bands. It's explained in more detail than I provided.

Good info guys. I may steal it!
I think you're right about the oly lift, Leg. I'm thinking of adding some speed sets in before my HIT work (whenever I can get in the gym, that is) to add a level of intensity and improve quickness and reaction time.

I get all messed up when people start talking about speed training and all of that. I do some lifts fast as need be, such as jerks, exploding out of the hole in the squat, etc. Other lifts i will not so so quickly, obviously, deadlifts. It gets too messy and distracting in my noisy, disheveled brain to focus on all of that.

It will also increase your strength. Force= speed x power (or some shit).Pylon said:

come out, come out, wherever you are!!!!!! 
Another usage for bands is to suspend the weight. This is particularly useful for deadlifts. It allows you to maintain a natural movement arc but "spots" you at the bottom of the lift so you are less fatigured at the top and can work with heavier poundages if your sticking point is at the top.

Wow Legion... I just finally took note how strong you are... Keep it up

Aw, Shucks!
I'm here. I've just been so wiped, lately, that I have been going to bed aroudn 8:30 on my nights off. Besides being a teacher, I also am the curriculum director at my school, and bartend two nights a week. A really nasty flu got me last sunday, and I'm just now getting back in the gym. No biggie, didn't kill me, and I kept the protein intake high, so I don't feel that I lost a lot.
Two good points. I just finished my Master's Degree, and I just found out that I AM GOING TO BE A DADDY AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Now, time for the gym.

Thank you all so much. Im stoked.
Between my son being in daycare, and my wife and myself being teachers, our house is one great petri dish of malady and disease. I'm suffering through a sinus infection, which leaves my head pounding. workout was rough, i dropped the weight because the pressure in my cranuim was enough to drive me insane. Did a few lighter sets of dumbbell bench, and some cable work for tris... shitty and base level, but at least i got my butt in the gym.
The Incredible Hulk movie was on last night. Awesome.
Started ADD medication today. Ive been working with adult ADD for some time now, but its getting the best of me. Doc put me on Concerta and Ritalin, which kills my appetite! Im a voracious eater, but most of my meals were forced today, which I have not experienced in a long time. Time to get more meal replacements.
