Hack Squat for Hypertrophy: Reverse Banded VS Regular

n1 training


The second experiment we have done on N1 comparing these two exercises involves looking at the actual strength curve/profile for the hack squat, versus the actual resistance curve/profile Kassem uses for his hack squat.

We construct a strength profile constructed from 5 positional isometrics, and compare it to the resistance profile of Kassem’s 4 rep top set with reverse bands. The results will surprise may of you that think reverse banding makes the lengthened position easier or takes away from the load in the lengthened position.
