hmmm never seen that in my life...what would the point of doing them be. i mean you couldnt lift as heavy as you could if you did regular squats and deadlifts.

I do hack squats and I rep more weight with hacks than I max with squats. It's a lot closer to my deadlift. Also, I do them after squats.

Barbell hack squats are absolutely wonderful. They destroy my quads and send my heartrate and breathing through the roof--just try them with heavy weight. I usually can't walk for a couple minutes after I finish.

They're good as long as you're doing some kind of deadlift or olympic lifts to prevent imbalances.

i do them every now and then, and they are awesome for nailing your quads.

Yep I have tried them before... They do hit the back of my legs if I am not absolutely concentrating on form... They do hit the quads big time...

Yup. My heartrate skyrockets after doing a simple heavy set of 6-7 reps; more than normal squats.
