    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

I can do over 5 reps for 3 sets and would like to start weighted dips.
What should I be looking for when buying the belt?

I have a leather belt, an old one my uncle used when he worked out 40y ago. If you use a regular belt with chain, you only need one belt.
