Yep, changing things up is probably what most people end up doing. If you don’t have extra collars lying around, maybe just duct tape a rock to it! Almost anything might work.

imo, if i can’t get by with 2.5 lb change plates on a particular exercise, i would switch up the exercise and/or routine to stimulate growth in a different way. or maybe resistance bands/chains to hit it different. then maybe come back to it after a few weeks. As an alternative, you can probably get 0.5 lb just by adding another bar collar on each side!

I have no idea anymore. It’s been a while since I wrote this. I will have to research it again to find out the weight of different sizes of chain.

So it is 1.25lbs per 7ft? The nice little chain circles you have pictured aren’t going to be so nice then with 7ft of chain. That whole section with the chains is screwy man.

Oops, that should be 1.25lb per 7ft. I will update the article shortly. Thanks for the note!

Do you have a link to 1/8″ chain that weighs that 1.25lbs per 7 inches? That is really think and I can’t say I believe it.
