    Hack Squats Vs Leg Press

    I am trying out Hola's 12 day routine, and one of the excercises that came up was hack squats. I don't think my gym has a hack squat machine, so would I be able to sub in leg press for hack squats?
    I used to be 135 pounds, give me a break.

    I don't think its a really suitable substitute. Do your hack squats the old school way, hold the barbell behind your leg.

    Oh I didn't know it was a bb exercise. I searched it on the website, and all I got was the machine version. I'll give those a try this week then. Thanks.

    The point of a Hack Squat is that it's a quad dominant compound leg exercise. I would suggest you do Front Squats instead if you don't have access to a Hack Sled. Front Squats are a lot easier to get down than old school Hacks IMHO, and they put most of the emphasis on the quads as well.

    Alright, I'll try them both out and see how they feel.

    Front squats are better. Hack squats are really hard to perfect without the machine.

    I got a question with this, should you be doing both regular squats, and hack squats in your routine. My current workout has me doing both. Is this benificial? Are the two excercises targeting different parts of the Quad?

    regular squats not only hit the quads, but the hams and glutes as well...so it would be ok to do both as hack squats nail the quads mostly and regular squats to a lesser degree

    you should be fine, hack squats aare excellent for targeting the lower quad(the teardrop). Just be sure not to neglect your hams.

    My numbers on the hack squat are so low that it isnt even funny. I can only do about half of what I Squat. Hopefully those numbers continue to rise. I guess it is due to the fact that I am training a portion of the Quad I have really never trained before.

    This is the version I'm currently using...

    Its basically the same, just some different exercises. I had to change some of them because of my shoulder injury.

My grandpa was a track, basketball, and football star in Oakland a long time ago, my dad was an NCAA swimmer, and my mom was a swimmer too.

    I remember my sister could leg press 350 lbs when she weighed like 110 pounds in HS.


    it's all genetics. Most people at the gym would look at me wondering how the hell i was doing so much. One of the RBs and OL on our football team here was working out in the regular non-student athlete gym one night when they saw me leg pressing and gathered around me because they didn't believe i could do what i was about to do, but i did and the RB calls me Legs now because of it. Turns out I could press more than both of them (just barely beat the OL guy by maybe 25 lbs).

    I don't get how I can do so much, so my best explanation is my genetics

    those are very good, but isn't going down more than 90-100 degrees potentially bad for your knees w/hack squats? I mean, as I understand it, this is putting more tension on your lower back and your knees. But don't listen to me, apparently being 150 pounds means you know jack **** about exercising because afterall, how big you are determines how much in the way of biomechanics you know.

    There's no clear-cut shoulds that apply to everyone. A lot of people do different exercises that use the same muscle group. These are a lot more similar than the different exercises most people do. It doesn't really work 'different parts' so much, but there's probably a greater emphasis on quads with hack squats, and probably different fibres activated at different points in the RoM receive more stress, so it covers bases. More volume can be beneficial.

    Kind of hard when you don't own a video camera...and if you read what i said before, i haven't done the exercise in probably 16 months. Why? because i ****ed myself up doing what i originally posted about it. overdoing it is not a good idea, and of course i was dumb when i did this about 16 months ago.

    Can I still do 610? i have no ****ing idea, but i would count on i could still do 500 some, but not 610 anymore, nor do i want to even try again based on what happened to me
