What are your opinions on the hacksquat machine?

hack squats are great...at my old gym i was using it through my injury but this new gym doesnt have one.

If your knees hurt, get your feet up high, i had mine half off the platform, and try turning your feet out a tad. Bottom the bitches out too.

Ill try the high foot placement idea. For some reason it never occured to me to try that before.

I am in the same boat as you regarding old beat up knees. Paramount Fitness Corp. makes a great hack squat machine that takes most of the strain off the knees. Now, if i could only find a gym that has one.

My gym has got one and that is one fucked up machine. Adding the smallest amoutn of weight akes a HUGE difference withthis machone and I've seen mates load a 45lb plate on the back and just get crushed. They ended up taking the machine out of the gym because people couldn;t use it right.

From my observation, probably about 90% of ALL members of the majority of gyms and health clubs have no clue how to use any piece of equipment properly. It's not the machine that is f..... up, it's the idiots who don't have a clue what the hell they are doing.
