How To Do A Barbell Hack Squat Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
The Barbell Hack Squat is a unique variation of the traditional barbell back squat.
This hack squat variation may feel strange in the beginning, but once you get the mechanics down, it’s a great exercise to target your quadriceps.
To get started:
- It’s easiest to get into the starting position with the loaded barbell placed on a squat rack at hip height.
- While standing, with your back to the barbell, hold the barbell with an overhand grip.
- Step away from the squat rack and hold the barbell behind you at arm’s length.
- To lower into the squat position, bend your hips and knees, keeping your chest upright until your thighs are close to parallel to the ground.
- Push your feet through the ground to rise back up to the standing position and repeat.
