Chains change the strength curve—that’s the point.
As you press, more chain comes off the floor → load increases where you’re strongest. At the bottom, you’re not crushed. At lockout, you’re forced to produce more force and finish the rep.
That’s accommodating resistance:
match resistance to leverage, not fight against it.
On pushups, this turns a basic warmup into a dynamic effort primer—you’re accelerating through the entire rep, recruiting more motor units, and building rate of force development without excessive joint stress.
More speed. More force. Better carryover to pressing.
Use it early, move fast, and let the chains teach you to finish every rep with intent.
