The belt hook is a great idea, except that it’s way too close to the genitals with that high-powered assembly under tension. One wrong slip and you might become a eunuch.
Mine came with a foot-puller system where you put the front of crossbow on the ground and hold it down with your foot in a foot-loop (metal) while you attach a puller cord to the string and pull up with a lot of force. It’s not easy at all.

Most crossbows load, or at least can be loaded, like that. My experience was different - I had a similar cord system, but I found it easy to use. You just straighten your back. In any case, certainly easy compared to spanning it by hand.

It’s attached at your waist, so you can just cant your hips back and your junk should be in the clear.
A foot-puller system like on the drawing?
Yep the standard type one, it’s just used away from the genitals more by remaining on the ground while you stand on it
