Review on 💪 Spud Heavy Duty Hanging Abdominal Straps: 1 Pair Ab Straps for Serious Core Workouts by Roy Whetstone

Through trial and error, I've developed a method for effective hanging leg raises using the bent-knee variation, which I prefer because it's the opposite. squats. It involves using a pair of "iron boots" (google it) with a barbell, an Ironmaster plate (they're square so you can stand on them if you need to), a bench, a box squat platform, and of course, belts for the press. This "lift" has so much power potential that it's unrealistic - and I feel like there's a real benefit and carryover to the squat. I feel like my squats are faster, more powerful, smoother, and a lot easier on the joints than they used to be, and I'm sure anyone who uses barbell rows as a supplement to their bench press knows what I'm talking about. It's like extra "cushioning" in the joints when you're working opposing muscle groups. I expect to work with my own weight at some point. But the problem with this, of course, is that most waist belts are only rated for 300 pounds. These straps are said to hold up to 1500 pounds, and while I'm skeptical of that claim, I'm pretty sure they can hold up to three times my bodyweight, and since double bodyweight squats are considered "advanced," this seems like a reasonable one aim for it. It is also worth mentioning that these abdominal belts hang quite far in design and were probably designed for very high pull-ups. The bar on my power rack isn't that high though and I can actually hold onto it while standing without straining and have to bend my knees to pull myself up. There is a smart way to do this. If you wrap the straps under the bar twice, then pull the carabiner over and around the bar, then behind the strap and clip the carabiner, the straps hang down pretty well where you can actually grab the bar with your shoulders. . There's plenty of hanging space and leg raises (I'm 5ft 11in) and for my particular method and setup the Iron Master boots/dumbbells barely touch the ground at the end of each rep. To me, this is ideal because it gives you a sense of completeness with each rep and, as an added bonus, completely negates any natural tendency in your body to wobble between reps and use momentum. It takes a bit of time, effort, and investment to set up, but it's incredible exercise and one of those products you'll want to use to get the job done.
