Loading pin for better dip belt loading

(Placeholder in case my thread gets buried, will delete otherwise)

I was wondering if it's worth buying a loading pin for these quality of life improvements for dip belt exercises. I haven't tried them yet.

Backpack/weighted vest are often suggested instead, but might cost $100+ for sufficient weight/sturdiness to carry such weight (say 100lb+)

Weighted pushups

  • Weighted pushups can be awkward to load with a dip belt, assuming you don't have a partner to load weights for you
  • If you put it on your waist, it becomes a heavy weighted plank with a light pushup, which might be opposite of what you desire
  • If you put it on your upper back, it may slide down
  • Putting it on your neck probably doesn't work with heavy weight.
  • Putting the weight on the loading pin and then clipping to a belt on upper back might avoid the sliding issues (example)

    Weighted inverted rows

  • I wonder if you could similarly load the upper back (if the weight rests on you, it can feel awkward/fall off)

    Weighted dips/pullups

  • Loading the waist as normal, the extra height may help avoid the weight hitting your junk if you need to move around

I ordered this one, since I had a bunch of 1"-hole plates already:

I'm 6'1", and I usually get the weights 5-6" off the ground on the pinch. 10" should be fine.

I bought a loading pin off amazon http://www.amazon.com/12-Loading-Pin-Snap-Clip/dp/B005O2Z8PG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426105096&sr=8-1&keywords=loading+pin

A bit expensive for what it is, but there are some DIYs out there as well if you want to make one cheap. You can also just pass a chain through the center of a few plates, but that can be a problem when you have 5 or 6 plates.

Definitely loading pin is the easiest approach. I use https://www.amazon.com/12-Loading-Pin-Snap-Clip/dp/B005O2Z8PG

but there are cheaper options out there.

You can also girth hitch.
