Wha?

Seriously, this is called a dip-belt. Look it up.

The easiest way to add weight to pullups is with a dip belt. This is a nylon belt with a chain. The chain is threaded through a weight plate, and the plate hangs between the knees, as shown in the pic to the right. The belts are pretty cheap; maybe $20 or so at your local fitness emporium. They come in leather versions too, but I'm not crazy about those, as the leather tends to cut into your hips
