Put your feet high up on the platform. Try to round your back as much as possible with each rep.

Follow my advice, and you'll have a herniated disc massive pair of legs in no time.

sounds good brianx i might even jus go straight to my one rep max with no warmup with that technique jus to shock my quads.






any1 else wanna add?  i wanna work my teardrop specificly an if i wanna work my out sweep how would i do that?

[xkol]

i have alot of mass on my quads but i figure i can use more teardrop an outersweep to improve overall look.


should i do hacks first or as a secondary exercise?

I am a big hack fan, next to sqauts they are my favorite for building quad size.  Since your gym just got a hack machine, is this the first time you have ever done them?  If so stick with the basic hack sqaut movement, feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly out, squat down to 90 degrees and repeat; pretty simple.

One of my favorite variatons is to do wide stance drop sets.  This is where I place my feet out towards the edge of the platform so I am at a very wide stance.  I then take up to 10 seconds to lower the weight and pop back up at normal speed.  I really like these towards the end of qaud day, it really fills them up with blood.

the higher you have your feet the more you hams come into play.  I let half of my foot hang off the top and it would be a form of a ham  workout for me.

If you want to blast your quads keep your feet middle/ to the bottom.

Good stuff!

i go a little past 90 but that's me...i do them in the 8-20 rep range after BB squats. i alternate front squats and machine hacks every few weeks.

leg presses are the best teardrop builder you can do.

i love the hack squat machine because it takes your ass out of it and puts the focus where it should be , on your quads and hams
