Abstract

A weight supporting body harness is used to support additional weight between the legs of a weight trainer. The body harness includes a torso engaging webbing assembly that directly supports the additional weights, and a waist encircling strap that stabilizes the torso engaging webbing. The weight supporting body harness allows the weight trainer to effectively increase his body weight while lowering his effective center of gravity.
