Made My Own Dip Belt

[myosin]

For the past several months I've been holding a dumb bell between my feet for dips... but it can be a bit annoying and distracting. I looked around for a dip belt and the cheapest I found was $25... not bad really, but I was in a "cheap" mood and didn't want to spend that much. So, I dug out my old powerlifting belt, went to Home Depot and bought a cargo strap with buckle for only $8 with a 200lb load capacity. Voila! Works great!

nothing wrong with being creative.......

I used to have one like this - but I got from home depot a:
Zinc Plated Chain 1/4 in. x 1 ft. = $2.00/foot
Carabiner - $2.99

I was going to go with strap like yours but the chain+carabiner was a little cheaper and much stronger.

I was going to go with a chain also... Half the price haha... But I wanted something that I could open, close and lock quick n easy and the buckle works great. Funny
