Leather Dip Belt

This is a review of a Leather Dip Belt.  I do not know what brand this is, but I have researched a few different companies that make the same style belt that I have.

Features at a Glance:

Pros:

  • Genuine Leather
  • One Size Fits All (and I have a big waist)
  • Heavy Duty D-rings, Steel Rivets, and Two Ply Construction
  • Can Be Use For More Than Just Dips (I use for some Calf work as well)

Cons:

  • Sometimes steel rivets can be sharp.
  • No padding on back support (not really needed)
  • Short chain

Where to buy:

I personally bought mine at Jesup Gym Equipment in Jesup, IA.

Amazon 

Elite FTS

IronCompany.com (CAP Barbell product)

Dips – Bodyweightx2x10

Daily “Selfie” – This was one of my favorite shirts.  I haven’t worn it in a long time.  It is from the Dark Star Skateboard clothing line.  I didn’t know that when I bought it.  I just liked the warrior with the huge axe.  The reason I haven’t worn it in almost 2 years is because it is a XL.  I haven’t felt comfortable wearing anything smaller than XXL since.  I can finally fit back into it and feel semi-comfortable.  It is a little tight around the belly still, but I am working on that.#LoseTheBelly

Wednesday – Shoulders/Arms

Overhead Press – was supposed to do 165x5x8, just wasn’t happening.  I tried dropping it to 155x4x8 like I did last week and couldn’t do that either.  I ended up doing 155x4x5

Seated Dumbbell Press – 50x5x8

Hammer Curls – 30x5x8

Dips – bwx5x8

Daily “Selfie” – This is yet another Bro-tank from Wal-mart.  This one has one of the infamous predators on it, a great white shark.  Also in this photo you can see my trust SBD Elbow Sleeves as well as my EliteFTS Strong(er) Lever Belt.  I am unsure if they still sell the belt because I couldn’t find it on their website, http://www.elitefts.com.  I bought it about a year ago when it was on sale for around $80.00.  20151209_053456.jpg

Daily “Selfie” – My wife got me this at the One Bread, One Cup conference in Indiana at the St. Meinrad Archabbey.  I love when my wife gives me random t-shirts so I can wear them and have people ask, “What does that t-shirt mean?” In this picture you can also see my SBD Elbow Sleeves and my SBD, 1m, Stiff Wrist Wraps.2015-12-02-17.26.58.jpg.jpeg

Dips – Bodyweight (234)x2x10 – First time doing dips in, probably, a year or more.  My shoulders have always hurt.  This time they were a little tender, but I was able to do them with “relative” ease.  I will keep including them in my training.

 

My daily “selfie.”  Yes! That is “almost” Hulk Hogan on my shirt!  This picture also features my SBD Elbow Sleeves and Stiff Wrist Wraps.  I will be doing a product review on them soon(ish).
