Agree with the back weak link perspective on the Back Squat. I was never able to continue progress upping numbers for them without SIGNIFICANT adjunctive Good Morning and Lumber Extension training.
Conversely, that was never really a problem with Leg Presses and Hack Squats.
The topic hypertrophy really interests me, so thank you for sharing your knowledge!😃
Thank you
Absolutely superb video. Love both of these moves
NOTIFICATION SQUAAAAD 🔥 can’t wait to learn 🙌💪
Thank you for this Joe, loved it. 3 quick questions.
1) I am a gym owner and i am looking to get a Hack Squat for my Gym, Any you would recommend?
2) Where do you stand with SL Split squats and how could I improve the profile of them?
3) How do you could about enrolling onto a RTS Course? I am Uk based.
Thank you Love your stuff
Ur an absolute King....for having concerned in this matters ..
Always an incredible lesson in mechanics! Tools for the tool box! Any suggestions for a NON latex heavy bands company to buy from. I’m allergic to latex.
Great explanation about using the bands on the hack squat. People always ask when they see and don’t understand.
I highly appreciate your knowledge and content. You are one of the few worth trusting. I have a Force USA Monster G12 at home that allows me to do both smith machine (vertical) leg press and smith machine hack squats. Based on your advise I will definitely try to load these exercises with a band in each side to make them harder in the full range of motion (especially the top part). Can you recommend how much resistance the bands should be able to provide to give the desired effect (not too light to make a difference and not so heavy I can't move it the last part up). For reference I currently use 95 kg for the smith machine hack squat for 6 reps (3x6+6x3 Myoreps) and 155 kg for the smith machine leg press for 5 reps (3x5+3+2 Restpause). I can adjust the height of bottom anchor points of the bands. Based on the length of the type of bands I am looking for (104 cm) the bands will maximally be stretched about 35 cm at full lockout (I can reduce this distance). My initial thought is two bands providing a resistance of 20-40 or 10-35 kg each since the total resistance will obviously be 2x the resistance from each band. I prefer to use two bands to ensure even resistance in both sides. Is there anybody who could advise me from practical experience?
What about pendulum squats. In one video you has said they are better than hack squats
Great info Joe
Great information .. I will. Try it next leg workout thanks
You missed out leg extensions. Which I feel is a must
I love these videos
Keep it up
Great job explaining why and how to perform these exercises
Thank you
Would Pendulum squat be a good replacement for hack squat. My gym doesn’t have a shoulder supported hack. Only the seated you use for calf raises. Thanks
His hamstrings are enormous wow
Great video. Awesome info.
What would be an alternative for Hack squats? I have a home gym with a squat rack, smith machine, leg press, leg extension/hamstring curl machine. Great informative video!!
banded leg press for sure
Front squat too
If u are still looking, the hack squat was not invented using a machine, obviously.. rather they used a bar behind ur legs, you can Google for a better explanation but it hits really good
Thanks coach!
Not to take anything away from the hacksquat, but without using bands the hacksquat fuck my knees more than any other movement.
I'll try the bands and see if they alleviate the pain.
I love the biomechanic explanations regarding the torque applied to the movements and how to mitigate the force applied to the joints.
New subscriber inbound.
I think the front squat is the only exercise that comes close to the hack squat. It hits the QUADS much equal(even more) to the hack.
Disagree. The thoracic extensors are the weak link in a front squat. Moreover, it takes a lot of technique training, balance and coordination. The hack squat requires much less of these.
Great content, I have a really hard time keeping my heels down on hack squat, but have no issue with barbell squats. Any suggestion as to what the cause may be?
need to move your feet higher on the foot platform
Here's one for you Joe. Less weight on leg press but more ROM ala Mike Israetel. Any thoughts?
More ROM is not possible without lifting one's lower back off the seat. This compromised position will likely lead to injury. As long as your back stays on the pad and your legs fully extend (without extreme knee lockout just to be safe), the heavy weight is appropriate.
You give your name justice
I have injured my legs a lot in the past and I cannot go into a deep squat. Will it still be beneficial for hypertrophy to perform banded front squat but only perform 1/2 of the exercise?
Wow, you are strong as f... man! I need to grow my quads
What are your thoughts on fullbody workouts
Josh B. Depends on the goal. Can be great
Is the safety bar more quad dominant than the behind the back squat?
Moh Jumha with most bars, yes. But does depend on the bar a bit
Thanks! I have long torso and short legs. Which squat you think will be more quad dominant for me
I'm a little surprised you didn't mention belt squats (machine version). How would you rate it?
Why not elevate the heels on hack squats? Wouldn't it allow for even more knee flexion?
Often the hacksquat platform isn't flat and has some form of built in downward slope.
Is it okay to extend my knees beyond my toes while squatting?
Rico Suave depends. But the vast majority of the time, yes
Joe have you given the Front Squat a try with the Kabuki Transformer Bar?
Jared Nelson I have not
Any advice on what type of bands to use?
Tim FitzGerald I order mine from elite FTS. Just search bands on their site
Great. Thank you. I guess I need to give Dave Tate some of my money. I watch enough of his videos :)
Is a power squat machine a close substitution if you don't have access to a hack squat?
Jackson Woods depends on the machine. But can be. Yes
Mike isratel says that quads are gonna grow if you squat deep and heavy. Do you agree with that as well?
Did you watch the video?🤔
Loaded with the great information great video
Geez....I'm thinking maybe the hack squat machine at my gym is broken... because I don't need to add weight it's so damn heavy! Guess I'd look silly with just bands? Lol! Thanks a million for sharing and just kidding... gonna give it a try... quadzilla here we come! :-)
I'd say who cares if you look silly, you're trying movements most gym goers have no idea even exist.
my gyms hack squad is 50kg without any weights added, + your body weight ofc.
A 1.25kg plate under your heel could work for heel elevated?
Jorge Lapuente yes
These guys’ lower body is no joke wtf
Thank you for not sounding like a bro talking about the gainzzz... but some demonstrations, maybe?
Your hamstring alone is bigger than my leg...
Is there a degree of elevation you recommend for targeting quads in the squat? I have seen Prime carries a squat wedge in differing elevations and like the idea of barefoot lifting vs putting on squat shoes.
Jeb Stuart Johnston if you were wanting to buy just 1 I’d say go with 10 degrees
hack squat for some reason kills my knees more than any other leg movement.
Not all hack machines are created equal. Moving your feet higher and little wider on the platform should feel better. At least that's how I made it work on the 30 year old machine I use.
sayianbone squats for me!
Why is your spotter wearing different color socks? :/
Just answerrrrrrr the question my guy!
he fucking is
so much ego lifting in the example videos. Lighten the weights and do better range of motion.
Better ROM? Hamstring is smashing into the calf in every squat pattern. Where would you like me to go?
@@HypertrophyCoach LOL. Not in most of the videos, bud.
LOL. ok 👍
@ Your loss. ego idiot.
Boring
Great info joe
