That's not how you use the hack squat.

Dexter always had shitty legs, from top to bottom... marshmellow quads, no detail. Flat hamstrings..calves no comment.

Epic knowledge, dude's known for his razor sharp hams. Maybe not so much now he's like 40+, but his hams were sharp, and the quad ham side split is one of the best.

Why do these guys need to be trained by Charles glass?? At this point in dexters career what difference does it make? Training ain't rocket science. Look at Dorian, Ronnie even branch, no need for glass ::)

dexter jackson, possibly second best bodybuilder in history of the world
after ronnie the coleman of course

sure nobody gives a fuck about calves as long as you fill them up with synthol and they dont draw attention
all the other muscles are a lot more important

i dont agree with you about the importance of calves but forget about them.. how do you see dex better than lee haney for example?!!!..
dex is a great bb for sure but no way to be one of the best in HISTORY!!!.. beside his nonexistent calves he has high lats/long abs and this affects some of his poses..
great bb,.. this is a sure thing.. one of the best 10 in history,.. no way.. the 2nd best in history,.. BS.. :D

And why does he need 'George' to dial in his diet. Is he talking about Farah?
And why is it even Pro have horrible range of motion on legs... brutal quarter reps right there.

"Squats"

I should try reverse hacks-regular ones hurt my knees-thoughts?-and what is everyones view on the squat machine at the end-I dont feel a good pump out of it
-

Cue our resident "gorilla expert" to come in at any moment with a 6 page dissertation on why that statement is erroneous...
-
What's the reasoning behind using the hack squat machine in that way? What's the advantage of facing the machine rather than using it in the traditional way? I've seen Will Harris training people to use it that way too.

Guy never changes.
And I am SICK UP TO HERE of guys saying the leg extension exercise is a great way to warm the knees, etc. Leg extensions are useless, usually. Unless you're some dude who just got out of a hospital bed after several months.

As far as I know Kent Kuehn started this in the mid-eighties (when he was still in great shape). He was using it on his clients and then Charles Glass and others picked it up. Many feel it hits the quad sweep and the glutes better. It was better when hack machines didn’t have that stupid piece that forces your neck forward (when doing regular hacks). When doing the reverse hack that thing makes your arch your head back into a really uncomfortable and possibly dangerous position.

Think before u make a bold statement like that.

Dex was winning way before glass. At this point there is no point, just never understood what glass can possibly do.
You and I know training isn't the most important so when you say farah I hope you are being sarcastic. Drugs and food are top priority. Thats why this "sport" will never be taken serious. Yeah it's the drop sets, different angles, reps!!! Please ::)

I prefer using the front squat machine for such movements

What's the difference between a front squat and doing the hacks facing?

-

I disagree. For older BB'ers (and I speak from personal experience here) I think leg ex's are a great way to warm-up quads. For younger guys, maybe this isn't so.
-

Dexter said in the clip something about George had him dialed in. I don’t know what George he was talking about so I asked if it was Farah. Notice the difference between asking and making a statement.

Okay nice if you have that machine. And if you don’t?

dex would be ok, there's one of those power squat machines just 10 feet away from the hacks at Golds venice.

pfffff
Thick. Solid. Tight

that rap song cracks me up every time.. they should include the truth also
the man dex, well not a man, a manlet
only looks big when photoshopped and size altered on a mr o pamflet
"a finishing touch" when he brushes up on his synthol
doing so many drugs and popping pills like they're mentos
he's mental. never breaking a needle,
his thong's so small you would think it's a see-through
a legend in the cult but really a freakshow
in the eyes of other people,
on a boatload of drugs yes, but doctors prescriptions are legal

Yes, that's true. I train at the Venice Gold's. There must be a reason why they select the front facing hacks over this machine. I've never tried the front facing hacks. Perhaps it's worth a shot for comparison

I've done that front facing hacks on occasion and did them yesterday since it was leg day and we have the discussion going on. It does have a different feel to where it his the quads. I also felt it strongly in the sartorius but that nay have been because of the stance. I think it's a good variation.

Please show me one former Mr O who has never done Leg Extentions! You need them...they are the best for warming up he legs and for a great pump!

what is the sartorius?

Dex had a financally good year so I am sure he is investing in himself like he should, ( supplements, gurus etc) I hink he also realizes his body ain't what it used to be so time to change stuff up.
-
I've used that last piece of equipment, that squat machine. Good God talk about designed by Satan. Burns like fuck. Awesome machine.
I will never begin a leg workout without either 1 leg or 2 leg extensions. Especially as you get older. When you get to the heavier compound movements your knees are nice and warmed up, quads are nice and tight. It helps my squat form when my quads are already pumped and tight. I also like to go the extra mile and do the dorian warm-up even prior to leg extensions: Core, leg curls, no-weight walking lunges, light weight, couple of sets each. Apparently as you get older you're more injury prone :'(
And yes, I am an absolute nobody here. I know that. But take heed all you younger guys not warming up properly, esp rotator cuffs, core, knees, etc. You will pay. Esp you back rounding mega show off deadlifters.
My injuries- lower back: Deadlifting way out of my league. And what really got me, leg presses, I was going too far down which caused my lower back to round and come off the back pad. That had me bedbound for a week. That happened in 2003. And I'm still feeling it.
right rotator cuff: during the teenage/ early twenty years I would just skip the warm-up and go right to the heavy weight cuz there were chicks and bigger guys there and I couldn't be seen warming up with light weight ::)
-
i hate the machine that was posted, hurts my knees so bad feels like my knee cap wants to jump out
-
no where near as intense as evan's video

No shit ... but this doesn't say anything about their worth, overall.

Do you think tricep extensions are useless too?
They are the upper body version of leg extension after all.

Then explain it to me. Dex has been winning in the past without this so called guru. What can glass offer at this time that dex doesn't already know. Not that complicated, sorry to insult your "sport" ::)
Btw, hi Charles!
-

Mostly, yes (definitely the kickback variety). After 26 years training, I wish I could cancel all the wasted time doing such nonsense. Some type of extension using a more pragmatic powerlifting-useful multi-joint effort, sure, but the isolated kind? Crap. Close-grip presses and heavy skullcrushers using some "english" are much more practical and productive.

Slow down on the drugs! You still haven't answered my question, at this point in dex's career what does Glass have to offer?? So you are telling me that dex is learning something new, something he possibly didn't know while training for over 20 years and finally he found the secret. Give me a break I guess he can now bring more striations out of his glutes. Hahaha these so called gurus!!!
Sorry if you paid glass to train you

I am going to send you a pm.

i simply can't believe this, the biggest rippedest guy in my gym does shoulder presses with 1 5lbs plate at each side of the barbell
never breaks a sweat, gets out of breath or makes faces
all drugs
and he blows the hardest working naturals away completely like a nuclear explosion no contest whatsoever

Because at 3 weeks out it's nice to have someone to push you and just tell you what to do. Plus paying someone makes you accountable to them and them to you. Be that a training partner or trainer, especially when you are low carbs, your brain isn't functioning properly and training legs. They're not a "necessity" but helpful when dieting hard...most other sports use trainers or coaches why not pro bodybuilders? It's human nature that we function better as a group than as an individual. Every single bodybuilder even the ones you mentioned has had help from other people.

Tried the front facing hacks the other day. Great exercise!
