Weighted Dips

[Behemoth]

i like to do my dips with a dumbell "curled" between my legs

Every man wants to feel like he has something between his legs. If thats what it takes...go for it.

Just bustin yer ballz.

I have been using 45 lb plates. I saw a guy using a dumbell the other night and it look easier to handle.

I found this method easier..

Instead of stringing plates thru the weight belt's chain, attach the chain with no plates, then take the chain (while a DB of choice is sitting in front of you on end) and use the chain's slack to hook over the far end (from your body). When you stand, the DB will hold.

If you can picture it, I find this method much more convenient and quicker then plates. Assuming your gym has DBs that go high enough (my gym has 120's and that's plenty enough weight for my dips).

Vin01:

I agree 100%. After dropping plates and generally making a fool of myself for months I finally discovered that a DB will stay in there very securely.
