In brief: a dip belt should be chosen by the exercise you want to load, how steadily the weight hangs and your current bodyweight strength. It is mainly used for weighted dips and pull-ups, with a plate, kettlebell or other load held by a chain.
- First steps with added weight: start when you can do 8 to 12 strict dips or pull-ups for 2 to 3 sets, then add 2.5 to 5 kg.
- Strength work: keep sets short, around 3 to 6 reps, and increase the load in small jumps.
- Combat conditioning: combine the belt with other fitness accessories depending on pulling work, core training and mobility.
- For heavy pulling from the floor, lifting hooks and straps are more relevant; for warm-ups, add resistance bands.
At CombatCorner, this category features RDX Sports, a brand used for strength and conditioning work. CombatCorner is official distributor in Switzerland of RDX Sports. Before loading heavy, check that the weight hangs in the centre, the chain does not restrict your range of motion and each rep stays controlled.
