Would you go with a leather one or a nylon one?

I prefer leather.

There's probably no difference but it does tend to look cooler.

no not really i just think they are probably more comfortable than a dipping belt around your waist due to back problems.

I'd rather have two busty women on my waist, especially if someone was taking pics of me.

I got a Harbringer one off amazon for like 25 bucks. Works fine and has held up pretty well.

I cant figure them out. I either drop a plate on my toe or whack myself in the balls.

I've seen thousands of old school shots, and that one still ranks as the fruitiest.

As for the original question, I've found a quality nylon like the Ironmind hip squat belt or similar wears better than leather and doesn't cut into you. Chains make you look like a douche in a regular gym but it's also a great option in a powerlifting gym where no-one will care.

That way regular gyms suck. All the gimmicks they use to get people in have taught the public that you don't have to "workout" hard to get optimum results. Old school gyms and old school ways were and still are the best ways to get results. I've always said that the current crop of bodybuilders couldn't last 1 day with old school training. Amazing how people get when they see a gym with a lot shiny "machines".

Dips & chins is the only thing I use my weight belt for.  Clip a carabiner through the buckle onto a rope tied around the db with a lark's head knot.  Make the rope long enough so that when the weight swings you don't

whack myself in the balls.
