I died at the "Goldie Locks and the 3 Dwarves" lol.....I remember 3 Bears but never any Dwarves haha....

Hypertrophy Coach is the man!!!!!! Great advice as always!!! Keep up the good work brotha 👍👍👍

Thanks for the informative Video!

Imma have to get my ass in that gym and film you myself! We would all love more videos Joe!

Very inspiring, specially to me. I learn a lot from u … keep it up . Love from india🇮🇳

That extra ROM idea is awesome!

Thanks for covering the challenge I face at 4’11” tall. I had noticed @michaelaaycock uses this technique with the extra pad depth under the machine shoulder pads and she spent some time training with you.

Very informative 🙏🏼

I think those were bears in Goldilocks not dwarfs but great video! Totally helped me with the pads above the shoulder’s considering I’m basically a dwarf myself👍

Great Advice

Can you make more but for safety bar? Great vid Coach !

can you do a video on those horrible hack squat machines that LA fitness has. The hack squat machines with only a little pad for your butt, no shoulder support at all, and a horrible incline for your feet. My knees always hurt when I use that type of machine. thank you

Very helpful- is there anything we need to do with adjusting the bottom plate/platform if at all?

How do you know where to set the platform your feet go on? I've always wondered why it was adjustable and how to set it the right way.

Ho Joe, do you have any tips on fixing an anterior pelvic tilt?

Surprised you have the Arsenal one, doesn’t seem to get too much love from most who have used other models.

hi! thanks for the video. QQ; It is necessary go to the bottom on each rep? Isn't enough to go down to 90°? I had a knee surgery and I feel that I have some limitation if I go too deep. thank you!

for me putting the toes out can be painful, it happened to develop some knee joint pain. All fine if I keep the toes in line with the heels. Also I found myself comfortable having the feet on the medium-high section of the platform, if I place them further down the heels lift up. What's the reason for that? Height? (I'm 6'2")? Hip mobility?

Any additional tips for the hammerstrength linaer hack squat?

Hi, can you activate the automatic sub about the lower lats video? Thanks

I don't know if you answer your comment section but I have a question about the hack squat, last time i did it i pinched something in the middle/upper back and had to stop my workout because I couldn't really move after. Took 4 days of rest and it was okay after but I'm still wondering what happened in my back. Thank you

One thing that many hack squats get wrong is not having a shorter back pad. Not too short, but just enough to let the bum curl under ever so slightly. This takes the shearing force off the knees considerably. No more sore knees!

Does back angle matter for quad emphasis?

Patellar tendon feels like it’s about to snap like a rubberband.. maybe hack squats aren’t for me or am I doin it wrong..?

This is great, coach. I have been considering getting a leg device for the garage gym as back/front squats are getting a bit stale and to reduce axial loading. I have been looking at bells of Steele belt squat, various leg presses, hack squats and pendulum squat device. Any recommendations if you were to get one leg device?

Pendulum is #1, hack is second. If you set it up with reverse bands it's pretty similar. If hypertrophy is the goal I'd do one of those. I have a Rhino belt squat and it's great but, the lack of a back support makes it less stable to go to failure and really isolate like with the other machines. Belt squat has more transition to back squats if you're a powerlifter.

Atlantis Pendulum is the best one. For hack best is Icarian or the one Joe is using here, I forgot the brand.

Dont care about your heels that much guys. our forfoot is made to get stressed, we jump and land on those things we sprint etc. also the hacksquat is made to work like that. when you move in control you should not worry. Its a good way to load your quads even more to let the heels come up a bit also it will work on the flexibility of your ankle especially your achilles tendon which should be tolerate a ton of force you can even hang a car on that fukker if its not stiff and dead.

i really struggle with pressure on the foot when i am in the bottom position. i often have most of my pressure on the front of my foot and its really hard for me to distribute it to the middle of the foot. is this a problem? any tips?
