A Modified Dip Belt.

Nice right? Wouldn’t you want a dip belt as well? Can add weights and train heavier. Don’t need to go so many reps till your hands rip into half because of callouses. Just add an extra 20KG’s and just do 10 reps, instead of having to extend to nearly 15 reps for hell sakes. And only getting half the benefit.However, it costs RM150-250 to buy it from the internet and I’m not sure if that includes the delivery costs. Which would equal to a pretty bad figure on your wallet.
I has solution. It be called safety belt. Old safety belts.
Yes this isn’t rocket science. It’s just an old safety belt with a bracket and two holes. You need such safety belts because you won’t be able to secure the weights without these brackets. (I seriously hate wordpress for constantly jumping my mouse to the top when I align the pictures to the center)
Now what you need to do is, put this one dangling side on the gas tank as your weights. If you’re not strong enough to carry a gas tank, then obviously improvise and use dumbbells instead. Don’t be a single track fool and not use your brains. Malaysians generally use their brains on silly things like “What dress to buy” or “What shirt would look good tonight when I club?”.
Make a change. Think of what to use as weights. The mother of all invention is? Smart…good dog.
Then you’re going to need something to secure the weights. I used a padlock. Solid and HIGHLY unlikely to break. See? It just hangs there. Then lock the padlock but make sure you have the keys. I don’t know what you’re going to do if you don’t but that was about what we were going to do, but we didn’t know where the keys were. My brother and I, not so smart.
31kG”S!! I be strong baby! Hahahaha!!! So yes, the pull-up belt that cost RM0.
Items needed:
- Old safety belt (Can be gotten from junk yards)
- Padlock
- Dumbbell, kettlebell or gas tank, whichever suits you
- Creativity.
Good luck you lazy Malaysians that think the only way to get strong fit fast and look good is by going to fitness gyms and having silly personal trainers teach you things that’ll screw your back while you think it’s dangerous for me to snatch overhead.

haha.. you have some nice stuff here bro. funniest thing is the bit about the dumbass trainers. I dont think any of them know shit about lifting, but they are huge from the steroids so I am the only one in the gym willing to make them shut the hell up about regimens haha…
Anywho, definitely nice choice. Interestingly enough, my goal is just to become superhuman. Much more simpler than the ones you outlined below. And, olympic lifts are included, as well as rope climbing, sprints, plyometrics, and gymnastics (particularly the rings)
the goal: sexy super strength and the ability to dunk on anyone and outrun almost anyone. haha.
anyway, awesome blog, thoroughly enjoyed. What area of malaysia are you from? My training buddy is from Pinang (not sure if i spelled that right) you should train together if you are nearby. salaam.

nice, you just taught me how to make one.
I also DIY-ed my own device for the cable woodchopping exercise.. a Pulley (from hardware shop), a rope and couples of 5 litres mineral bottle. for those who ripped on budget, these way we could get our return on investment rather than paying our hard earn money to friendfinder gym.
