  • The Hip Lift
  • The Hip Lift John Grimek and Charles MacMahonThe Hip Lift

    The Hip Lift is an old time exercise for building leg power. -- It involves using a belt attached to a heavy weight that will just clear the floor when the legs are straightened.

    Several thousand pounds are able to be lifted in this manner.

    On the left, Charles MacMahon hip lifts a heavy barbell circa 1917 at the Milo Barbell Company.

    On the right, John Grimek uses the very same setup to train for Warren Lincoln Travis' Challenge at the York Barbell Company in 1949.
