Dip belt!

nibbe828 · 10-01-2008, 11:32 PM

I need to get me one. My gym doesn't have one. Any suggestions or preferences? Nylon or leather? I've only used the leather ones before and they kinda cut into my waist when I start putting a little extra weight on it.

how bout this... I have yet to do it but I gave this some thought... a chain with a "S" hook on either end. "S" hook pinched down at one end to keep on the chain the other end left open to hook onto your own belt. OR use some of those cheap carabiners instead of "S" hooks.

This would save you bout $40-60 and would work the same

Yep exactly right, this is all i use, a chain with a carabina is all you need. Cost about 15 bucks all up.

I have a nylon , folds better in the gym bag and works just fine. I believe its cheaper in price too. staff at some gyms will not allow loose chains in the gym.

Maybe the belt was pinching because you had it too tight?

nibbe828 · 10-05-2008, 09:50 AM

Maybe so. I might have tightened it up too much, I just don't want the damn thing do fall off.

You could also use chains to add weight like Branch does..............

Until you get one with a rotten crotch and then your neck smells like anchovies for the rest of the workout.
