Take a backpack if you dont wanna fork out for the belt just yet. Or hold a dumbell between your calves and do them that way.

Weighted dips or decline bench
I have been doing weighted dips as my last chest exercise using my gyms dipping belt. When I went in today, I was told that the chain was broken and they didn't have a replacement. Knowing how cheap they are, I assume it wont get replaced for awhile. Should I buy my own belt, or is decline bench a decent replacement. Seems like a lot of benching if I were to add decline, but at the same time, the movement seems pretty close to the dips I was already doing.
My chest/tri routine
3x4-8- Flat BB Bench
3x4-8- Incline DB Bench
3x4-8- Weighted Dips (leaning forward)
2x10- Cable flyes
2x10- Skull Crushers/ sometimes close grip
2x10- Press downs

but if you just have a piece of webbing you can simply loops it over your butt and then down in front of you, between your legs, holding the knees close hold the webbing from flaring out and slipping off your butt...

these are "weighted pullup variations"
but most would work for dips as well
from about 2/3way through the end they use the webbing
looks like it may be uncomfortable with substantial weight... maybe some type of paddingLast edited by Ben dur; 01-26-2009 at 08:53 PM.

Buy your own belt. The one at my gym broke almost 6 months ago. It has yet to be replaced. Bought my own about 4 months ago - it's a good investment. Spend the extra 10-20 bucks and get a nice leather one not the cheapo plastic/nylon ones, it will last you a lifetime.

No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?
