this just takes your posterior chain out of the lift and targets your quads more right? it's truly encapsulates the zoomer necessity for instant gratification.
I'll never understand this stupid fricking machine
I can understand belt squats, since it puts less load on your back, but these fricking things are just a meme that is an inferior version of a back squat
>inferior version of a back squat >literally an exercise that allows you to target your legs more
Just because you're not using it the correct way doesnt mean its inferior.
Even powerlifters hate reddit squats. They spend thousands of dollars on specialty bars to avoid having to do them. It really is just barbell minimalism reddit novices that jerk it off all the time.
These are my legs after a year of only doing leg press(very hard sets) and leg extensions super setted with leg curls. I did some smith squats aswell. I know they are small and not lean but I was chicken legged 9 months ago
Hack squat feels good but only with light weight, going heavy on it feels really shit
You're not supposed to be doing strength rep-ranges on a hack squat machine. Aim for 10-12 reps.
you're moronic. literally everything you just said is completely arbitrary.
this just takes your posterior chain out of the lift and targets your quads more right? it's truly encapsulates the zoomer necessity for instant gratification.
Your posterior chain already gets enough work from pendlay rows and deadlifts.
Wrong. You can never get too much posterier chain work.
>zoomer
Tom Platz and Dorian Yates loved these.
They don't replace squats but they're a perfect accessory/altetnate lift

do your squats
Tom platz has the perfect proportions for building quads by squatting though. Look at how upright he can remain.
Very few people are built like him.
Except Platz didn't just squat. He used the leg press and did leg extensions for his quads.
>leg press
Maybe you mean the hack squat, he's always going on about the press being an inferior exercise
Yeah, I did mean hack squat.
Do highbar you twat. If you want to look like Mark Rippletoe you squat like him.
If you have long femurs you can't high bar without it being really awkward
>elevate heels
>ankle mobility
>be comfortable in the hole
all of these led to me being very fricking strong in the HB BS with long femurs
Do you have quite a wide stance?
not really no
this. making excuses about your proportions is cope.
Tell that to Dorian Yates. Fact is exercises work well for some people but not others.
you aren't dorian yates
bold assumption
what's wrong with a muscular ass
Seid de phaggot
Girls love a nice ass too moron.
Lmao no. homosexual cope x 1000.
It’s easy to spot a virgin in the wild
women love big ass too. it sounds like you never talked to women in general if you dont know this
Nope. They dont frick men's asses - they have no use for it, lmao

CAPTCHA: 48 KYS
It's a sign, take it.
>literally 5'10
What the frick? Someone needs to tell this bloke HE is the short man. My mum is taller than that.
510 is tall in bodybuilding land
Meanwhile in reality Tom mainly did extremely low weight squats for high reps and used isolation machines for the rest of his size. Also pic related.
>Tom mainly did extremely low weight squats
No he didn't.
Assuming you're doing some variation of a Deadlift, this argument is invalid
what?
It's not instant gratification if it's hard to do 3-4 sets with a good weight, moron.
the squat is the hardest lift there is period. 3pl8 squat or bust homosexual your choice
>but muh machine numbers
Can I just do front squats pls
My upper back fails before my quads on them
>My upper back fails before my quads on them
Why would you want to miss out on upper back gains?
I'll never understand this stupid fricking machine
I can understand belt squats, since it puts less load on your back, but these fricking things are just a meme that is an inferior version of a back squat
>inferior version of a back squat
>literally an exercise that allows you to target your legs more
Just because you're not using it the correct way doesnt mean its inferior.
>takes up half the roof
It's impractical
I've only seen people doing caft raise with this
I find it really funny the way IST acts like it's literally impossible to make any leg gains unless you squat.
You children really need to grow up.
>wahh wahh i dont wanna do the best lift that exists, it huwrts my knees
you're the only child here, EVERYONE should be able to squat (diseases aside)
Even powerlifters hate reddit squats. They spend thousands of dollars on specialty bars to avoid having to do them. It really is just barbell minimalism reddit novices that jerk it off all the time.
squats are reddit - the lift
Used to do barbell squats but the racks get occupied fast so I prefer the hammer strength hack squat machine.
>reddit squats
If you mean bulgarian split squats then yes
Leg press is for 3 kinds of people:
1.Women
2.Fat bloat lords
3.Zoomers
