The Las Vegas Athletic Club has a Hammer Strength Tibias shin raise machine.Ive only ever been to one gym that has that little contraption that allows you to train your shin muscles. Its super simple. I know you all know what I'm talking about. I miss seeing that little thing.

I used to have some knee pain, mostly tendonitis, when I used the swing squat and it never made it hurt. Id actually switch to doing them if my knees were screwed up.That's a lot! I'm up to 1 plate ea. side, but I'm so worried about my bum knee I take all new leg movements slow and easy. I've increased in weight every time I've used it but now I have a goal to shoot for!
My gym doesn't have any of this shit, not even a hack squat. I've honestly thought about canceling my contract early and start going to this other (pretty awesome) place that's 5x as expensive, but it's probably worth it. They have hack and belt squats, I know that. Plus some awesome machines I love for back.
Some of the hoist is pretty good. My gym has that as well as Keiser. I like the hoist bench and the dip machine. I think they also make a combo assisted pull up and dip machine too. The leg extension is pretty lousy. Many of ours are plate loaded.Hoist Fitness equipment. I finally have a chance to try them and the Hoist Roc-it stack Lat Pulldown and Hoist Roc-it stack Row machines are new at one of the gyms I go to. I get a great squeeze in my back, where is depending how I do the movement. It’s great but the down side is I’m already at the bottom of the stack! They also sell plate loaded machines they might be better to add more weight. But the squeeze on those is awesome!
Here in Vegas, all of the LVAC's that I train at, has one of those. Very effectiveIve only ever been to one gym that has that little contraption that allows you to train your shin muscles. Its super simple. I know you all know what I'm talking about. I miss seeing that little thing.
I'm guessing the foot platform on this goes all the way to the ground correct? I hate most of the new hacks as the platform is up high. I'm old school, I like doing mine the way Platz does them.Flex Hack Squat. It's 30 or 35 degrees where as most hacks are 45 degrees.
same here. i like to go hams to calves and raise my heels up off the platform and roll forward on the balls of my feet and then push off the balls of feet and then heels back into the platform as i reverse direction. shouldn't/can't use as much weight this way and it can be rough on the knees but hammers the hell out of the quads, which is the purpose of the Hack Squat anyway.I'm guessing the foot platform on this goes all the way to the ground correct?
