Yeah, the gym has a belt. It's one of those assistance pull-ups/dips machines. Has a counter weight stack. I have to use the counter weight at 80, (started at 140), on pull-ups for 8 reps. I use body weight for dips at 13 reps now. Can't weight til I can strap on the belt with just even 10# on dips and no assistance on pull-ups. Consistancy and patientence I keep telling myself. This morning most all of my hurting has subsided. Still have the ITB problem squatting for anything or getting up from sitting.
