Does anyone know of any weightlifting/bodybuilder/spots stores in Seoul? I need buy a "dipping belt" (the type I can attach weights to for dips/pull-up exercises) for my next weights cycle.

Cheers! Very Happy

Put some weights in a rucksack/backpack if you can't find a belt.

studies have shown that the belt does nothing good for you .. it only gives you the notion that , you are able to lift more with a belt then without, while in reality, the belt does not help increase weights. They say the advantage is physiological and tricks the person into thinking he/she can lift more than he/she actually can. Thus, ending with an injury.

be careful !

He's not talking about a lower back belt. He's talking about a dipping belt.


My suggestion: up to 12 kg in a backpack works great for chins as long as the pack has a good chest strap.

Well, if your grammar is anything like your previous post then you're not qualified to be a second-rate English teacher, are you?

If I didn't have a few mates from the UK and thus an understanding of their humour (notice the 'u'), I'd have been offended by that barrage of profanities... Anyway, I do believe this is what you're (not your) looking for, correct?
