Reverse Hack Squats... thoughts please

[I Declare War]

In my journal aln asked a great question that I think may better be placed here:

Andriod, IDW, any of you chaps do Reverse Hack squats for hams?? Personally, me thinks it's a some time better option than stiff leg dead lifts...depending on bodytype. Wisdom time please.

.

Thoughts guys...

As mentioned in your journal...

They are very good, can go fairly "heavy" on them in a safe manner, ensuring form is down packed: slight bend in knees, arched back and arse out

I like them, I do them nice and slow and even go relatively heavy sometimes. Different feel from SLDs. The only thing I don't like about them is that they give me a really sore neck because of the angle my heads sit in the machine, but I have a few issues with my neck anyways.

Tried these out the other week and will definitely keep them in my programme and milk them for all they're worth ! Feels good on the hammys yet doesn't stress the lower back like Good Mornings do so will leave me fresh to Squat by Monday !

they are good.

I like it coz you dont have to concentrate on holding a bar and keeping your back tight etc. You just do the reps and feel the burn in your ass baby

When training for strength sports I would use reverse hacks as a Deadlift assistance exercise, using a narrow (DL-like) stance.

Will be adding in as a hammy movement on ocassion now (needed some fresh ideas!).

These are great on a standing hack squat machine if yr lucky enough to have one at yr gym. The old CF Moorhouse had a nice one, Nautilus I think
