alt to hack squats

[HAYEZ]

this is my least favorite exercise ever...whats everyones opinion as a good alt that hits the same amount of areas?i already do front squats reg squats

Try leg press, and lungs.

 

[RottenWillow]

Lunges are the closest approximation to hacks I can think of.

But if you're already doing front squats then hacks may be redundent.

noaccess to leg press and i hate lunges equally as i think about it...lol

I think its not the exercises you hate, but trainign legs... not fun in general, but they have to be done.

Why do you feel you need to do another exercise besides front and reg squats ?

If your working your squats hard........your good to go bro.

 

[from zero]

What Dave said. I don't even think you need hack squats.

What about the barbell hacksquat - it was the way the old guys did it before machines - really kicks ass! - named for the guy who invented it George Hackenschmidt.

you got it covered. you could do bulgarian split squats, but thats just a stationary lunge with the back leg up on a bench. since you hate lunges...never mind. hehehe.

put on a t-shirt that says "shut up and squat" that should give you some motivation. I hate lunges using the barbell, cause I suck at balancing it when going down. An alternative is using dumbells, if you are using heavy weights just put on wrist straps and you are good to go.
