Anybody recommend somewhere online to get a dips belt (to hang weights from)? Planet Max here in Canberra is only place I've checked, and the only one they stock is $59 (probs ok, but steep until I know what's average)

sounds reasonable

i'd be more interested to know where you can get chains like these

I found some chains here:

But you would be bankrupt (and amazingly strong) by the time you looked like your above post.

if you want chains just go to your local boat shop, or even a fishing shop. you can get some pretty decent size chains (anchor chain, they sell it by the metre and it's cheap), and they are usually glavanised so sweat shouldn't be an issue rusting them, LOL.

still not a bad investment considering you can use em for dips, curls etc

Ehh if you reckon that's reasonable then fair enough, tomorrow ill grab one ;)

here you go http://www.worldfitness.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=557 seems to be the running cost for em

hmmm hadn't thought of that...

i've checked out hardware stores only but they don't really have the right size/weight

you just need a weight belt and a short length of chain or rope... better than chains IMO as you can hang different size plates from it and be pretty specific about what weight your lifting... you also don't have to lug weight to and from the gym just a belt

then you can use the weight belt for squats/deads etc... if you just get a dip belt you can really only use it for dips/pull ups

So you reckon get a support belt or whatever they are (for heavy lifts) and then just hang a rope from that with the plates on it? hmm, double use I suppose.

I meant the exact type of thing someone linked in response to me - the belt with chain that you hang plates from anyway. It only has a single use though, doesn't provide support if I wanted to use it with deadlifts or something

Either way, I'm gonna rock on over to planet max today and see what I'll get

$20-$30

But I'd be going with Nick's idea...don't see the point in having a different belt just for that when a normal belt with a chain will do the same thing

I just put them between my thighs and lock my ankles..

I always wanted a belt, but couldnt justify spending $x for one excercise. Now I do multiple excercises which could utilise a belt, but still couldnt justify.. lol.

arent u a clever boy! lol wish i thought of that before i brought my dips belt now... i got a leather one on ebay i do like it though and get alot of use..

how many of u guys actually use a weight belt for deadlifts and squats for your back our of curiosity? and how much weight would you want to be able to dead lift before using one do you think?

I can't claim the idea, there is a weight belt at my gym setup like that... I only use the belt for weighted dips/pull ups... I have never used a belt for squats/deads etc

no idea when you should look at using one... I'm still under 200% bodyweight on those lifts so not sure I need to use one yet... and I don't do 1rm

I went to the gym at lunch today, gym is too packed after work... think I'm going to make lunch sessions a regular thing... I can't get up early enough to go before work lol

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
