To get started, a dip belt rated for 120-130 kg is plenty and lets you progress without overspending. So the right choice comes down to your level, your loads and your budget.
What is a dip belt?
A dip belt is an accessory worn around the hips to add load to bodyweight exercises. A rope or chain holds plates or kettlebells, letting you progressively overload the core movements of streetlifting:
- Weighted pull-ups (back, biceps)
- Weighted dips (chest, triceps)
- The weighted muscle up
- Loaded squats and pistol squats
By adding resistance, a dip belt lets you keep building strength once you’ve mastered your bodyweight. It’s the must-have tool for moving from the intermediate level to the competition level.
How to choose your dip belt
The 6 essential criteria to check before buying, based on your level.
For competition, go for 500 kg and up. To get started, 120-250 kg is plenty to progress with confidence.
Stainless steel guarantees maximum durability. Reinforced nylon is perfect for moderate loads.
Chain and carabiners: rugged, ideal for heavy loads. Strap: lighter and more comfortable to get started.
Built-in padding is essential on long sessions. Check the belt width to avoid pressure points.
A secure closure is a must. Always test the lock unloaded before adding weight.
From 25€ to 89€ depending on the range. For lasting use, 45-55€ is the sweet spot for value.

Clip the weight on with the carabiner, then do a few light reps to confirm comfort before adding more.
Add 2.5 to 5 kg per week. Steady, controlled progression guarantees lasting results without injury risk.
