B-bell hacks?

Barbell hack squats - anybody do them?

I've been experimenting, placing a 2x4 under my heels, it's akward at first but next day you'll feel pain you didn't know you had.
Is it effective, and could the movement be added to a regular routine?

Thanx.

Hacks are good. I never really do them, its too awkward for me and i can't find anything to put my heels under.

I'd say the only universal exercise for legs would be squats, all other exercises will or will not work for different people.

I also prefer regular squats to hack, they seem to bother my knees to much.
