Reddit reviews Harbinger Polypropylene Dip Belt with Steel Chain, Black

A backpack will be awkward, hurt your shoulders, and not be too scalable. This works just fine for me.

I use one of these, works great. Secure and centers the weight right between the legs.

Best $20 I've invested in lifting this past year. Went from where you're at to wide grip chin @60lbs x3 and regular pull-up @70lbs x3 in a matter of months. Great for dips too. My current 5/3/1 4-day split routine calls for high rep pull-up on dead lift day, which is now has me thinking I'm going to add a heavy day on Saturday mixed in with my cardio. It's my best lift according to www.symmetricstrength.com

I found bags for weights not so comfy overtime. My advice would be to rethink the weight attachment to your body.

1. Poor man's style - rope / karate belt wrapped around your waist and through the plates. If it hurts too much, add a sweater around hips for padding
   
2. If you're a climber you can use climbing harness
   
3. My favorite option - You can buy dip belt, something like this
   
4. Use a weight vest
   
   Dip belt pros - cheap, can attach shitload of weight, perfect for dips and pullups. Cons - weights swinging on the chain can get irritating
   
   Weight vest pros - weights close to your body - perfect for pushups, handstand push ups. Cons - not so comfy for pull ups and dips (movement limitations), impossible to overload / add more weight than it's build for.

I used this one and was able to load 135lb without a problem. It's been out in the elements for 2+ years now and still is in great condition. I highly recommend.

I recently purchased my home gym, all in all, it was about $1300.

I bought this half rack - $350

This bench - $100

This bar and set of plates - $250

These Dumbbells - $600

These Rings - $34

This belt - $27

Total if you buy it all today: $1361

I looked to get as much of it as I could while it was on sale, or discounted. I also went to raise.com and got something like 15% off a Dick's Sporting Goods gift card, so I got it for an even better price.

It allows me to do basically everything I need to do, and I've bene loving it! Let me know if you have any questions.

Generally you don't weigh yourself with pull-ups, you just do them. Once you start being able to do excessive amounts of pull-ups (which won't happen for a while if you're a novice), you can start adding weight to yourself to make it more challenging. As others have said, you can achieve this through special belts (like this) that you can put standard plates on or by holding dumbbells between your legs or however else you want.

Once you start doing that, you can theoretically add together your body weight + added weight, but most people only talk about added weight since pullups are traditionally a body weight exercise.

I own this one: www.amazon.com/Harbinger-28900-Polypropylene-Weight-Belt/dp/B001P0S3XU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413151539&sr=8-1&keywords=harbinger+dip+belt

It's made by Harbinger, and it's polypropylene. I've had it since May, and there are no real signs of wear. I use it once or twice a week with (so far) 30-50 lbs. I'm sure a good leather one will last longer, but this think seems pretty solid.

Agreed, I got this one for like 20 bucks, had 2x45lb plates on it without issue. Link

Get a dip belt and start stacking plates.

Edit: I realize that my suggestion is not pure body weight, but I personally find that being a purist can be quiet limiting.

If you want to stay with pure body weight, L-sit pull ups, Front Lever Pulls, Front Pulls, and Front lever in general. Video on the Front Lever Pulls and Front Pulls

For $10 extra dollars you could have just bought this. Like you said though it's useful to have a heavy chain and some caribiners lying around.

Harbinger 28900 Polypropylene Weight Dip Belt https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001P0S3XU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NROqxbCP739GP

I'm currently using the [harbinger dip belt] (https://www.amazon.com/Harbinger-Polypropylene-30-Inch-Steel-Chain/dp/B001P0S3XU) for my weighted dips and pull ups. They're of really good quality, although you might want to use a stronger carabiner when you're going very heavy. In general, dip belts are not suitable as weightlifting belts because they do not provide support for your back when doing deadlifts, squats, etc.

this one works perfectly for me:

People will say leather is better but mine is holding up very well. I put as much as 70 lbs on it for doing dips. Works great

I got [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001P0S3XU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YmyuybH1WDZSH) on Amazon for ~$26 and it works great

this is the dip belt I have.

this is how you use it.

Anyone have any recommendations for a first dip belt? I'd like to stay between $25-60 or so and don't need anything too special. HUUUGE plus if it's on amazon prime. Please and thanks Here's what I'm considering now: https://www.amazon.com/Harbinger-Polypropylene-30-Inch-Steel-Chain/dp/B001P0S3XU/ref=sr_1_4?s=exercise-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1496935247&sr=1-4&keywords=dip+belt

I use this one. I've only ever had 115 on it so I can't speak for more than that. I've been using it for 2 years now.

About 500lbs of random plates I got cheap. Most of it was bought used but in good condition. Took me a while because I was really patient so I’d find what I wanted.


I’m pretty happy with all of it. I was most concerned with saving space and getting stuff that had high enough weight capacities. I’m not lifting really heavy weights, so it’s all good for me but might not work for everyone.


I’m considering getting a stand or some matts, or maybe a few kettlebells.

Good belt, good price, prime eligible

I totally agree with you. I personally use a Dip Belt to lift 45lbs for dips and pull-ups.
My backpack didn't feel as secure and I'm pretty sure the mass distribution of a 45lbs weight in a bag isn't optimal and could rip the bag off.

Bought my first one last week, used it for the first time today. Very solid. Used it for pullups (10 lbs.) and dips (45 lbs.). Worked great.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001P0S3XU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There's one on amazon for $27 that I have and it works really well. Ive used up to 75lbs so far with no signs of wear.

Edit: http://www.amazon.com/Harbinger-28900-Polypropylene-Weight-Belt/dp/B001P0S3XU/ref=cm_lmf_tit_4

I got this one from Amazon about 8 months back.

Never had any issues with it, and have had up to 60lbs on it but I'm sure it could handle more.

I got this Harbringer on amazon a while ago and it's been great. I usually try to get the best quality everything but like you said I didn't wanna break the bank on a dip belt. Definitely recommend it!

You can also buy pullup belts that will probably be more comfortable than just a rope.

I use this one.

I bought this about 6 months ago
AMAZON harbinger belt

its held up well, the only thing is the chain is a little short, but I'm able to fit a 35lbs plate no problem (Not sure a 45lbs would fit, maybe a 35+weight).

I think these are what you are looking for?

Oh my haha, ultimately it does the same thing!

Indeed. I use this one here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001P0S3XU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is what I use, it's not too expensive, $27. I've put up to 135 lbs on it with no problems.

My husband uses this one (we ordered it directly from Amazon) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001P0S3XU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for dips mainly. I've used it for pull-ups before too, and it seemed to work just fine for me. It's also fairly inexpensive compared to a lot of others, so that was the main reason behind the initial purchase. :)

I used to use a jump rope to tie through smaller weights. Bought a big boy chained belt when I moved up to a plate. big boy belt

i use this. it's cheap but works great.

I think they're all pretty much equal, but this is the one I have

Harbinger Polypropylene Dip Belt with 30-Inch Steel Chain https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001P0S3XU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_h3q7ybCMD2YX6

I bought this one about 2 years ago, and it's been great. Highly recommend it. Have used it with kettle bells up to 24kg so far.

https://www.amazon.com/Harbinger-Polypropylene-30-Inch-Steel-Chain/dp/B001P0S3XU/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1492870413&sr=1-1&keywords=harbinger+dip+belt

Here's the one I use at my gym.

Personally, I'd like a(n):

• FlipBelt
  
  
• 1.25 lb plates
  
  
• Dip Belt
  
  
• Jump rope
  
  
• Anatomy Textbook (or other fitness related textbooks, especially coffee-table type books)
  
  and, of course...
  
  
• Giftcard: for athletic clothing (especially somewhere that sells women's weightlifting shoes, as that's what I actually need right now), massages, yoga classes, food...
  
  

That's weird, the chains on the ones at my gym don't even tough your clothes, shouldn't hit your leg either if you have it high enough. They look just like these, what would the alternative to a chain be?

I have this one and it works pretty well. Seems durable.

This is basically what I have.

A good multi purpose tool for a home gym. Dips, pullups, and belt squats.

Good luck!

You need to bulk. If you don't have access to to the gym do pullups/chinups, and dips to start. Eventually when you get better and stronger, start using weight.

Pullups/chinups:

You're too skinny right now.

Can't guarantee it will fit through every approx. 1" hole since they can vary but I use this one and it fits everything I've ever tried: http://www.amazon.com/Harbinger-28900-Polypropylene-Weight-Belt/dp/B001P0S3XU/
