I didn&#8217;t catch the first set of  dips on tape, so I had to eek out a second set for the camera&#8217;s  benefit. Hence the shaking.<\/p>\n<p>*Update* I&#8217;m now up to 5 reps in the first set for chins and 10 reps in the first set for dips with 65lb!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left;margin-right:10px;\"><iframe allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets\/tweet_button.html?url=http:\/\/bit.ly\/hrCWXQ&counturl=http:\/\/www.engrevo.com\/blog\/new-drag-and-carry-belt\/&text=New Drag and Carry Belt&count=none&lang=en&via=engrevo&related=\" style=\"width:55px; height:20px;\"><\/iframe><\/div><div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:25px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/www.engrevo.com\/blog\/new-drag-and-carry-belt\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little while back, I posted about an awesome sprint workout using just an old belt, a rope, and my sandbags.
