Dip Belts

[Sam277]

Duct taping the weights to my leg is getting a bit tedious, so i'd like to get a belt.

Any of you guys bought 1 that you'd recommend for being strong and durable? And if so how much have you loaded on it?

someone on the forums had a great example of a homemade one (I think it was mouse). It consisted of a length of chain, wrapped in some pipe insulation foam

Like this............




Chain
Pipe insulation
Gaffer Tape
Karabiner x2

Cut open the pipe insulation. Feed the chain into it with a karabiner at one end.
Wrap the pipe insulation with the gaffer tape.
Second karabiner used to secure the plate.

Actually that's a nice looking belt. Pretty macho.

two low cost solutions my friend:
- rope
- chain/hooks

the rope you can tie to the weights
the chain is even easier cause you just have to hook the weights

does it hurt your hips?? BE A MAN!!!
haha just kiddin
if you workout at home you can just wrap a towel or old t-shirt around the chain/rope

im my gym theres no dip belt so I just use a rope around my waist and tie it to the plates
