Whats The Difference Between Squats And Hack Squats?
What’s the difference between a regular squat and a hack squat? There are various squat techniques. The most common in bodybuilding being the back squat. Here the bar is placed right below the last vertebrae of the neck. This high bar position allows for more of an emphasis placed on the quadriceps because the torso will remain more erect. The barbell hack squat is very different than the machine that is often seen in most health clubs. This variation is very useful in developing the posterior chain (low back, glutes, and hamstrings). The bar is placed behind the individual on the floor, very similar to a deadlift. The difference between the deadlift and the hack squat is that the bar is behind the body instead of in front. Because of the increased torso angle, there is more emphasis on the posterior chain rather than the quadriceps. However, this is an excellent exercise for development of the entire thigh.
