    I dunno - there's always this: Rocky (1976): Rocky punches meat - YouTube

    This is such a missed opportunity for sweet matrix/king fu battles.

    Aerial Silks/Yoga seem to be doing pretty well these days.

    Gravity confusion.

    Maybe they didn't have 160lb dumbells? Also probably a little bit like doing those banded KB bamboo bar press things - "stability".

    The chains are supposed to make it more of a fight to keep the DBs in the correct path, I guess? Not sure how useful that is, but chains can definitely pull you around.

    Well compared to all the ridiculous shit we see on a regular basis this isn't that bad TBH.

    I think it's more of a "anything is cooler with chains, especially on Instagram" philosophy.

    starting strength coach development program
    On vacation this week on Nantucket and dropped in at the Nantucket Health Club for a mid week workout. Wasn't going to do anything crazy, just a light day so that I don't get too DOMS too bad when I return to civilization. The gym was small, but equipped with all Ivanko revolver plates and olympic bars. I guess being on Nantucket, they could afford to buy the good stuff. Didn't make squatting and benching with whippy olympic bars any better though.
