I already posted this in the workout section a week or two ago but got no reply.

My new gym has chains hanging from the bar, and I used them two days ago for squating.

Now I realise that chains are bad ass, they make a metalic clinking sound as they pile up on the ground, and all the girls take notice and desire that you would sire their children ------ but apart from how cool chains are, should I really use them?

Is it definitely beneficial to use chains when benching, squating and deadlifting? I definitely noticed my legs were sorer than normal the next day.

This week I've used chains for flat bench, squats and deadlifts.
