+ 1 REVERSE HACK SQUAT

ad

Hey Guys and Gals.

I have been doing this excersise for quite some time now
I love it! I think I have scene a ton of strength gain in my hips and for sure almost double my strenght
When Im grappling, Take down wise. My exploisivness on takedowns has doubled as well......
You could ask some of my training partners ... lol
So... The set up- Go to the Hack-Squat machine and instead of turning around and steping in backwards
You walk face first into the machine, Spread legs wide. angle toes so there facing ten and two on a clock.
Always go into gorilla back when squatting or dead lifting!
Go down deep and i mean deep! I cant express that enough.
Coming back up drive thru your heels and explode thru your hips.
A little added bonus for calves you can due is at the top of the rep press thru your toes and do about ten
Calf raises and then go into your next rep.... Its amazing... Ive had numerous people in my gym ask me
Teach them this movement so I just though i would share.. Thanks for looking

Oh shoot I almost forgot fellas.... I call This a Bedroom performance movement as well! It doesnt just add to my explosivness on take downs if you know what I mean !!!!!

I feel like hack squats in general are better for me for growth rather then a typical squat, just because i can concentrate better on feeling and contracting my quads and hams when i have more control like that, i switch it up weekly tho, hacks/smith/regular

same bro dont squat much anymore made the switch to the hack squat and once and a while will do front squats but not to often
I think the hack squat is a great leg builder
