Mirafit Weight Belt with Chain - For Weighted Dips and Pull Ups

Product Information

Despite being highly supportive, this nylon belt is quite flexible and can be used for a variety of types of lifting. The consistent four-inch size all around the belt provides even pressure to increase confidence in your core tightness, and the material isn’t prone to pinching the skin during squats or deadlifts. Also, the unthreaded method uses less of the chain length compared to the threaded counterpart and poses less risk on your clothes.

The steel chain and the carabiner mechanism make it easy to add weights and attach discs to perform dips and chin-ups. The main advantage of this belt over a traditional leather belt is the double support from both leather and nylon, as well as the infinite adjustability.With this belt, you can breathe a sigh of relief while performing heavy movements — just not during your set.

Bodyweight alone is a good way to exercise but to actually build muscles, you have to challenge yourself beyond the comfort of your body weight, and a weighted dip belt is one of the best ways you can do so. Belts give you something to brace against and are an easy way to help increase intra-abdominal pressure when lifting a heavy weight to ensure your core muscles (such as your abdominals and spinal erectors) stay tight and brace against the belt throughout the lift. While they have “dip” in their names, dip belts are actually useful for more than just this one exercise. There have been investigations into many of the theorized benefits of wearing a belt during training with mixed results.

Polypropylene makes it durable, and with the heavy-duty steel grommets that secure the chain to the belt, you’re in good hands. While it may seem straightforward, there are actually quite a few considerations to make before choosing your dip belt, including your form and the amount of weight you will consistently be using. This only comes in a buckled version, so if you prefer a lever or velcro fastener, you’ll have to look somewhere else.

Those who are just beginning to dabble in weighted bodyweight exercises and want to start off with a relatively inexpensive dip belt. Ditch the belt and focus on bodyweight only for more endurance-based training in the higher rep ranges. For simplicity’s sake, performing weighted pull-ups with a dumbbell/without a belt is the clear winner in this department. However, they’re superior in terms of portability, so they suit coaches that move from one gym to another during their day.If your waist is over 30 inches and you find a need to ease the pressure loaded from equipping weight plates to a dip belt, then this option should be in consideration for you. The hook and loop closure is secure during most lifts but may pop open during heavy squats or deadlifts.
