Machine hack squat vs. machine reverse hack squat

[Dens228]

How tall are you, most hacks machines have a small platform for foot placement, if your a tall guy given the small platform the hingeing of the weight puts a load of stress on the quadricep tendon, if the platform could go farther out it would take more stress off the knees

5-9. I think it's because of the configuration of my machine. It's wide and there's really no way to get depth without sticking my ass back.

When it comes to hacks, the style/angle of machine REALLY makes a difference.

I prefer to do BB hack squats, they destroy my quads way more than the machine does.

I just set up a nice wide grip, and a narrow stance, really sit back into it. Love me some hacks.

Hurt my lower back a few weeks ago on the V-Squat. Was wondering if the hack squat would be any better or basically the same movement pattern...

How'd you hurt it? JW as I've been using the v squat exclusively as it feels better on my back.
