A Hip Belt Takes Stress Off Your Back And Adds A New Repertoire Of Exercises

by Joshua Tapp

The Hip Belt by Ironmind is one of my favorite pieces of weight training equipment. I use it for so many different exercises that I had to list it as a piece of weight lifting equipment and not just an accessory.

Even the World's Strongest Man winner, Magnus Samuelsson (shown above), loves using this belt by Ironmind to increase strength!

I absolutely love this belt because it takes so much of the beating off of my lower back when using it in the place of barbells and dumbell for certain exercises.

Easing the work on the lower back is one of the most important things you can do for any weight lifting program. Less lower back work on other exercises means you can use your lower back more on the big compound exercises like Squats, Deadlifts, and Rows.

You can actually add a HUGE number of weight training exercises with this belt. You can do different types of squats, several calf exercises, and you can even use it to add weight to upper body exercises.

Adding weight to Pull Ups, Chin Ups, and Dips is really easy with this belt. Did you know you can even use this belt to drag a sled? Dragging a sled is one of the best cardio exercises in existence and this belt makes it possible.

What exercises can I do?

Well, I like to use it for squats, donkey calf raises, standing calf raises, weighted dips, and weighted chin ups or pull ups.

I'm sure you could use it for even more if you are creative. I especially love it for all of my calf work because it adds no extra stress to my lower back! Standing Barbell Calf Raises put a lot of stress on your back, but substitute this belt for the barbell and you've got no lower back stress at all!

The hip belt is a great tool to add to your weight training equipment. It really alows you to do so much more with your weightlifting program.

Where do you get a hip belt?

The only place you can get this belt is directly through Ironmind Enterprises. The price of the belt is over $100 and is a little steep. But, Ironmind makes high quality products!

I've had mine for over 4 years now, and it looks like it's brand new!

You can find the belt at this link to Ironmind's online store: Get your Ironmind Super Squats belt here.

Totally Blown Away by the WLC System...

Hi Josh,

Greetings from Australia, mate. I received your WLC Program recently and have only just got to emailing you (reason being I took quite a while exploring the entire package!!!).

I have to admit that over the past years I've purchased many programs via the internet and I can say with complete honesty that I have *never, ever*, had the pleasure of receiving one such as yours!!!

I was totally blown away by everything, from the log books, the big beefy manual, right on through to all those fantastic calculators! It comes through that you really put your all into the package. I've seen all those programs which claim to 'lay it all out for you ... paint by numbers ... take you step-by-step', etc.but only one is deserving of these claims ... and it's yours.

I especially found the goal setting information to be very, very comprehensive and so well laid out. I've read goal setting books, articles, websites, etc. but never really applied any of it to my endeavours in the gym.

Your system will have me going after my dream body with a vengeance, as I will be commencing the program this coming Monday.

In previous years I was a chronic "routine/program hopper"; I'd spot yet another new system I thought I would follow and away I'd go ... for about 3 weeks if I was lucky!

Despite all that, during some years I'd build a little muscle, lose a little fat and start looking reasonable, then slack off. I have a well equipped home gym which includes everything you recommend.

I have always been good with my meal choices but the bottom line is I was never consistent with anything!!!!

I have a very strong feeling all that is about to end - pronto! I'm really looking forward to starting the program Monday 30th August, and totally looking forward to some *real results at last*.

Oh, by the way I am 56 years old and my long-term goal is to have an awesome physique at 60 in comparison to the average one I had at 30. Thank you once again for putting out such a terrific and very complete program - I will not have any hesitation in recommending it to everyone I know.

Cheers,
Gary McDonald
