Does anybody have a good and well balanced Arming Belt pattern to hold up full steel legs? Thanks.

Shouldn't be to hard to make.

The C-belts or whatever they are called are very dependant upon your body type. My shape doesn't work to well with the C-belt style done at the natural waist. It falls down from my natural waist to my... well.. waist. Therefore IMHO your waist has to be bigger than your natural waist. So the design i use is one of a hybrid style.

I use a C-belt (actually just a wide thick belt maybe 3-4 inches wide) along with a 2 inch strap that starts at my lower spine and travels up my spine to about my shoulder blades then splits into two straps to go over my shoulders and back down to the C-Belt. Kinda like suspenders. It keeps the weight on my waist and also keeps the belt at my natural waist when i bend in certain directions.

Your millage may vary.
