Barbell Hack Squats

[cog]

Tried these half-assed a few times over the years.Tried them again and liked the feel.Anybody doing these?

I have no idea what they are. I`m thinking maybe you`re refering to a sissy squat.

I have a tough time getting around my hamstrings when doing barbell hacksquats.
I will probably stick these in my rotation when I get bored with the leg press sled.

Ritch the barbell goes on the floor behind you.Bend your knees keeping the back as straight as possible and grasp the bar.I think some people with back problems might like this...think I've seen maybe one or two people ever trying these.

I like them. Don't rely on them since nothings better than regular squats, but nice if your lower back is a bit sore. Most people seem to go too heavy and end up cheating by not keeping their back straight. AN older powerlifter tha I know quite well just loves them since they appear to emphasize that quads.
Worth a shot imo

I like to use them in SS - paired with squats - either front or back
