Chin-ups + dips

I don't have a weight belt, is there any way to compensate for the lack of extra weight in reps for these two exercises?

dys what type of reps/sets are you doing? Why not buy a belt or ask for one for christmas

or use dumb bells between ankles? Make a belt? Lead shoes?

cheers

yeah man...just hold weights between your legs...strengthen those adductor muscles in the progess!

Well the weights aren't too necesary right now for chin ups as im doing 8x3's, but for dips i'm doing way too many reps. I'm not sure how well holding weights between legs will work but we'll see!

if your doing standing dips hold it between your legs...seated dips...set it on your lap
