RDX T7 Weight Training Dipping Belt With Chain - Red

RDX T7 dipping belt with chain for weighted training – red

The RDX T7 Weight Training Dipping Belt With Chain is a training belt with a chain that lets you add extra weight to bodyweight exercises. Weight plates are threaded onto the chain attached to the belt, so the load hangs freely below the body and your hands stay free for the exercise. According to the manufacturer, the belt is designed for exercises such as weighted dips, weighted chin-ups and pull-ups, hip belt squats and calf raises. The inside of the tapered belt is covered with thick EVA foam padding and anti-slip polyester fabric, and the front is reinforced with two layers of polypropylene. The manufacturer states a maximum load of up to 272 kg (600 lbs). The set includes a 91 cm (36 in) steel chain with a carabiner. Sportlab sells the red colour option.

EVA padding and dual-layer polypropylene

The back section of the belt is 15 cm (6 in) wide and tapers to 10 cm (4 in) wide side panels. The total length of the belt is 81 cm (32 in). The tapered shape leaves room for the hips to move freely even in deep positions, for example at the bottom of a squat or a dip. The thick EVA foam layer on the inside is lined with anti-slip polyester fabric, which helps the belt stay in place during training. The front of the belt is covered with one layer of wide-weave polypropylene, over which sits an overlay belt made of fine-weave polypropylene. According to the manufacturer, this dual-layer construction gives the belt its durability and load-bearing capacity. The load is carried by powder-coated metal D-rings, a carabiner and a heavy-gauge steel chain.

How to use?

Place the belt around your hips so that the wide padded section is at your back. Thread the chain through the hole of a weight plate and attach it to the D-ring with the carabiner. Before the exercise, check that the carabiner is properly closed and the weight hangs firmly. The long chain allows you to hang several weight plates on the belt. Start with a lighter weight and increase the load gradually, without exceeding the maximum load stated by the manufacturer.
