Hack Squats: Know the Difference ⚠️

Hack Squat is primarily a knee dominant exercise as the knees travel further from the centre of gravity.

However changing feet position can put more emphasis on other muscle groups.

Feet up is preferred, you need to work those glutes. They stabilize lower back and help to maintain flat belly (with or without abs depending on your fat level), fixes spill over or bloated looking belly.

Actually regardless of foot position on hack squats you're going to activate the whole quadriceps,

It's different to squats and leg presses,

When I hack squat I can’t go all the way down idk why

But remember, the lenght, not the wide is that maters, some people like me, when they widen their legs their knees hurt, so if you have been feeling like hack squat hurts your knees, start closing those legs!

Want to hit your glutes? To more than half the way down lmao

Should I go for glute and hamstring feet position or quadriceps position for the hack squat

[mucpatrick]

[Sergio-esrv]

I go up higher becsuse of shitty mobility and im guessing tight shins

You have to have a below 50 IQ to actually think any squat variation targets the hamstrings.

Forgive me for my ignorance but has any of this actually been scientifically proven?
