weighted dips...

[JollyRogers]

I have a lifting belt I use just for this, I tied rope to it and then make special knots to tie the weight to it, works fine, $20 bucks for the belt and the rope was free.

I made one for about $6 today, although I already had a snap connector. I just bought about 7 feet of chain and some vinyl tubing to go around it. Works and looks great. Thanks for the tip bigguns.

Definately saves a buck, and works just fine.

Glad it worked out for you.

I used to use a piece of rope. You tie off both ends... then double loop it. It hurts a little but works fine.

For first timmers on this exercise, someone should invent a "gyroscopic anti-swing device".

Until I got the hang of it, I often looked like a pendullum.

Cross your ankles. Same as with chins. It'll keep ya from swingin. It's magic.

Used the belt today. Very comfortable with one plate. Only did a couple reps with two plates but they sorta hurt. Nothing unbearable though.

That must be what did it. After doing them for a while, I stopped swinging as bad, and I do cross my ankles now.
Cool to know.
