Revamp Your Leg Workout with the Barbell Hack Squat

This is a follow-up to a video I posted several years ago which continues to be one of my most watched and engaged with videos to date. This video answers the questions you've been asking about how the barbell hack squat stacks up to other squat variations (front squats, back squats, dumbbell squats) and technique tips for performing these without the bar getting stuck on your legs, plus a few thoughts on programming and implementing these into your training program.

I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed planning and creating it. Are there other movements you're curious about and want to learn more? Let me know in a comment and I'll do my best to help.
