Calisthenics equipment

A weight belt, also known as a dip belt, is a specialized piece of equipment used to enhance calisthenics and strength training by allowing the addition of extra weight to bodyweight exercises. Typically made from durable materials like leather or nylon, these belts are worn around the waist with a chain or strap attached to hold weight plates or kettlebells. They are primarily used for exercises like weighted dips, pull-ups, and chin-ups, enabling athletes to increase the intensity of their workouts and build strength. The weight belt is especially valuable in hybrid calisthenics, where the goal is to push beyond bodyweight limitations by incorporating external resistance.
