And its not for coloured toilet paper or anything stupid like that!

I'm after a weight belt for chin ups & dips, do any of you use one or can recommend one for me please?

Cheers

I use one when needed. However my gym has belts, weight belt, knee wraps that you can just use when you need it. I'm in the same position as I want my own belt rather than borrowing one all the time.

Adds resistance, therefore becomes more difficult.

Aah I misunderstood, I thought it was the type of belt a deadlifter would use. A bloke at school just used to tie a rope around his waist and weights at the other end lol.

I've got an SK Sports Dipping belt - I spoke to the guy on the phone and he said it would easily hold 100kg - so it should be more than enough for me!

I think the product code is SK190.

There are a lot of better belts out there, but I just replace them when they die, they're just products that wear out ultimately.
