I found weighted vests to be pricy and difficult to tune what you load too, so I went with a dip belt and just use plates for dips and pullups.\r\n\r\nBut whatever one does, I think starting with anything is better than nothing.  I got started with pure body weight, doing dips between two tables, inverted rows by grabbing the underside of a table, and a cheap $20 door frame pullup bar that I still use, 7 years later.","subreddit_name":"LifeProTips","author":"whisit"},{"body":"If you aren't hard on your stuff Bowflex aren't bad.
