Myprotein Dipping Belt

I suspect most of the 5 star reviews here have been left by people without advanced levels of strength who are using less than +40kg weights on this. When I got to pull ups with +33kg the buttons on the sides popped off, so I replaced them with bolts and washers and continued on fine for another year or so. Then when I got stronger then buttons on the back popped off. These buttons are made of extremely thin, cheap metal (like almost all belts out there). After I replaced these with bolts as well, I got strong enough to do pull ups with +55kg, then the leather ripped. The low rating is entirely for the complete lack of regard for safety on the myprotein sales team. If you say this thing is rated to 100kg you had better be sure that it actually is/that you're testing it properly. I had the pleasure of having my instep crushed by 55kg of weight which made walking an absolute delight for about 8 weeks. I'm leaving this review to tell people to avoid this belt if you ever hope to attach big weights to it for your own safety. One thing this belt is great for is comfort which is why I haven't given it one star. To sum up, fine for weaker lifters, completely wrong for strong lifters.

Strong and comfortable BELT, however CHAIN too short to achieve max load of 100KG. OK for two 20kg plates but had to extend chain to use three 20kg plates. Would recommend another 8 links and a larger more robust carabiner,

This Product is apparently rated to 100kg but the leather was starting to tear at 65, and became unusably torn at 80

My old gym had a dipping belt, so there was no need for me to invest in one. A change of gym proved necessary, the new gym had no dipping belt. I had decided to make weighted dips an integral part of my chest routine. And so I purchased this item. I've used it over the last few weeks and have no complaints. It seems sturdy and holds my current, 40kg, max weight with no issue. I'll move up to adding 50kg for my next chest day. I can only recommend the Myprotein dipping belt and weighted dips for anyone looking to built bigger pecs. Train smart:)

Belt is a made of cheap, thin metal and on first use of only 20kg on the belt it broke from the weight. Very disappointing, do not buy.

This belt was ok for a short period of time, however one of the fixings that’s holds the leather together popper out under a load of just 45kg. As others have said, there is no chance of getting close to 100kg as the chain is too short. Probably worth a buy if you won’t ever need to put more than 40kg on. 

I found it generally comfortable although after a few months of use the buttons which fasten the chain to the belt could no longer support the weight and have come apart. Highest weight the belt had seen was 40kg for pull ups although generally I’d only use 20-25kg. The belt wasn’t abused in any way so it’s pretty shocking that it’s advertised for up to 100kg when it’s fallen apart below 40? (A common occurrence going by some of the other reviews I’ve now read). I will be replacing the buttons with nuts and bolts so it will hopefully remain useful. Thankfully the buttons didn’t dramatically snap mid pull-up but I’d be weary for anyone aiming for serious weights as the products structural design doesn’t seem up for the task at all. To be fair, it worked like a dream when it worked but I don’t think such a safety concern should be overlooked, especially within a year of relatively light use!

I love my protein products but this was so poorly made and the stitching is terrible it can’t handle much weight either when I was trying 40kg pull-ups it was so uncomfortable compared to others I’ve used in the past

Came quicker than expected so kudos for that, however the clip is very poor quality. Almost straightaway the clip broke, i only used 20kg and was doing body squats. the rest seems very good.

Does what it’s meant to. Haven’t tested with high weights yet. It came like it had been used violently or just poorly made because most of the chains had shards of the plating peeling off which was tearing my t-shirt, so I had to wrap them in tape.  Wouldn’t recommend.
