Following a light lower day last weekend and knowing I wont be training lower this weekend I decided to push it a bit today on hack squats. Here is what I did...
Hack squats - parallel box
worked up to 5 plates side for doing sets of 5 reps
worked up to a 11 plates per side doing triples
11 plates plus 25 per side for 2 reps
stiff leg dumbbell deadlifts
70's for 4 sets of 15 reps
reverse hypers
180 for 4 sets of 12 reps
The hack squats were far from easy but felt good. I like them because while much easier than a free squat they require keeping my back tight and hit the nervous system with the pressure much better than most other machine leg movements.
