retired saddle?

[OTGBOSTON]

A co-worker asked if I had any old treeclimbing harnesses laying around that I could sell to him. He is a big health nut and read in a magazine that doing dips and chinups with weight on a belt is great excercise. Supposedly treeclimbing harnesses are better than the belts designed for the purpose?!?!?

Anywhoo if anyone has an old leather saddle they are willing to part with, let me know, thanks, G

my unencumbered saddle falls off my ass without suspenders, cant see one staying on with weights hanging off it. Not that my saddle(s) get much use. I would say get a diving belt.

I imagine a saddle would work fine. But if you can't find an old one, look here:

Relatively cheap and it will last forever. It's the same one I have and I have never had a problem. If you have any questions call them and talk to Alan. Their customer service is outstanding.

The dive belt sounds like a good idea. Much cheaper too.

I'd clip a line to my saddle with a weight on it and throw it over the chin up bar. Then I might actually be able to do a couple.
