PR Barbell Hack Squat For Reps

[WalkingBeast]

Hey Guys Not a huge PR but something anyway. Just did 495lbs for 6 reps on Barbell Hack Squats off the floor ( like a deadlift ,but with bar behind legs). Beats my previous PR by 1 rep.
Also failed 570lbs today on the max, got 565 two weeks ago. ThanX for the inspiration guys. Im 22 5'8 185

how do you keep the par from colliding with your butt? how much do you deadlift?

The movement was slightly awkward for me at first, but before I did them off the floor I had done them on the power rack with 7 plates a side with the pin set at the lowest notch. So I got used to it. It took me 2 times to get used to doing them off the floor. I dont use alot of leg power for the lift mostly lower back. I only deadlift 465 off the floor but have gotten 495 by taking the bar off a rack walking back with it and hitting the floor then coming back up. It feels pretty natural for me now. Hope that helps ThanX for the response
