Hack squats in the traditional sense

[AssItch]

Another thread got me thinking about hacks. Real hacks where you got the bar on the floor behind you, not the machine.

Anyone actually do these? These seem appealing to me because I don't think I'd be able to lean forward and 'good morning' the weight up and fuck up my back in the process.

those are Barbell hacks..never done them..sounds to me like you need to strengthen the posterior chain...

I'm working on it. My problem is that I won't accept it when I fail, so instead of leaving it on the pins I try to 'cheat' it up. I need to knock that shit off.

everyone has a weakness..its those that train them that will make the most gains
