Repost from @yourhealthyhedonista on how to maximize your Smith machine Hack Squat execution 👌 • We done YET have our hack squat machine, but if you have a nice smith machine like this, you can still hammer out a great hack squat. The key is to place your feet well forward of the bar and don’t let your hips shoot back as you stand up. I prefer a more narrow stance to hit the quads, but my husband @jeanjacquesbarrett prefers a wider stance. The key is to avoid doing things that take the focus off your quads. We did 3 sets of 12 with a 3 count negative and it was 🔥. If you do have access to a hack squats at your gym, find the foot position that allows you to hit rock bottom. Don’t sacrifice depth for weight with this amazing exercise. Remember that for building muscle in a complete way, it’s got to be a mix of form, range of motion, weight lifted, consistency and a good nutrition plan. Give this exercise a try and let me know how it goes! #builtnotbought @tulumstrengthclub @thewonderwomenofficial
