Preparation

The Barbell Hack Squat primarily works the quadriceps, that include the rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, and the vastus lateralis. Stand up straight with your feet shoulder width apart. Hold a barbell behind you and below the hips. Keep your arms straight. Point your toes slightly outwards. A shoulder width grip is best with the palms of your hands facing back. You can use wrist wraps for this exercise for a better grip. Keep your head and eyes up and back straight.
