what size chains do you use... i read i needed two 5 foot chains of 5/8 of an inch chain. i went to the hardware store, and they didnt carry that big of a chain... is 5/8 the right size? i found 5/16. where do you find it? or was i reading something wrong? does 5/8 even exist?

These are the chains i made for Andy Bolton which he is using now they are 2.5meters long and doubled over suspended from stainless steel rings then fitted to deloading chains for adjustment , for most benchers you will need about 40lb extra at top of movement though Andy's set weigh 150lb

We use 5/8 but I like bands far more than chains.
