I'm in my 40s and have long had irritation in one side of my hips. The hack squat is comfortable and gives me no issues.

I was on the streets and destined for failure. Then I watched this video and I now know how to do a hack squat. I am forever grateful.

Just picked up a hack/press machine couple months ago and love the isolation it’s provided. Been using tips like this 👍🏼

I don’t think anyone has explained the corkscrew feet planting step better than you. It reminds me of how much detail you put into the cable upright row. I still do them the way you described them. This has to be perfect+1

The way Johnni explains things is unparalleled!!! He is the BEST and I stay learning from him! 🙏🏾❤️

I thought I was going to have to stop doing hack squats, but after watching this and applying your tips I now do hack squats like a pro. Thanks Jonni

It will be my first time I saw the machine at the gym wasn't sure how to use this video was the universe sending me the lesson I needed 🎉

I just started using the hack squats, and the tutorial has been very helpful. Giving this a go to row morning

[cynikaldoc]

Thanks for the tips. I like how you present the concepts

[canes]

Bro this is extremely informative that 11 and 1 O’Clock explanation is a great visual

[doublebanana-dedt]

Very helpful and comprehensive, thank you!

[geofferiswheel]

Good cues. Sometimes I find the shoulder pads leave my shoulders a bit sore from the weight distribution. So I'll grab a foam roller and lay back into it at the top of the machine right behind my rear delts. It gives me a different angle that allows me a bit more hip-flection and no soreness.

I applied these tips and principles to a pendulum squat today and and made hell of a lot of a difference. Usually my feet alignmemt is good but my core tends to disengage at times so kept the focus more on that and also held on the machine from underneath rather than over the top of the handles. Been applying this tip from your previous vids as well.
Lightening the load made a difference to my form as well.
Thanks so much Jonni

The Hack Squat at my gym you have to hold the handles up so it doesn't lock out, so my hand placement will have to be different.

[kamranahmed]

Thank you for this video, I have pretty much the same machine at mine 👍

[nrz]

I do the hack squat but use too much of an arch in my back so these pointers are very useful

[dpatriot]

Damn. You are missing an ACL same as me. We also have the same pinky that has been broken or dislocated. Are we related? LOL! Great tutorial. Thanks Jonni!
