Budget Dip and Pull up Belt

Hey, I was looking for a cheap dip belt and I found this video on Youtube that proves there's nothing that can't be solved with a pool noodle… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW3F3WoJUxk

But there are budget options available on eBay for under $20 (e.g. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BODY-NATURAL-NEOPRENE-DIP-BELT-/2…) and I'm not too sure if paying for extra chain to run through the pool noodle itself would make the Youtube hack so cost-effective in the end.

Has anyone here hacked together their own comfortable dip belts? Or used an affordable pre-made one?

    What the…?

    Why can't you just be heavied down by your student loan fees like everyone else??
    It's what keeps the Millennials fit.

      Student loan fees are the stone of shame. I'm ready for the stone of triumph.

    I would just pay more and buy a proper one, especially for something where your safety is one of the main priorities - you might end up hanging lots of weight from it.

    Something like this perhaps? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Harbinger-Polypro-Dip-Belt-/27237…

      Thanks for the tip. I'll try reading more reviews.

    I purchased a cheap leather dip belt on eBay years ago, has Shihan embossed on it.

    I immediately upgraded the carabiner with a much larger one from Bunnings and it has been faultless since.

      Thanks. I've read good reviews and even a similar comment on a forum (may have been you ;)).
