Reply With QuoteI see a big difference. The first machine is adaptable where you can do leg press or hack squats( by pulling out the plate in the middle) and this type of leg machine is in most good gyms. I think this is vastly superior and provides much more stimulation than the V Squat. I used the V Squat at a gym once and found it very inferior. Its a "lazy man's" leg exercise machine. And sure enough, as I continued watching for a few days, all the people who did not have the guts to do real squats or hacks jumped on the V Squat.Originally Posted by BulkMeUp

Hack Squat/ V-Squat confusion
Can someone explain the differenct between these two? The ROM looks the same. The only diff i can see is the position of the weights on the machine
Hack Squat
V-Squat
Also what is the diff between Leg Press and Leg Sled. The diff being on the former the footrest moves on the latter the upper body moves. Again the ROM looks the same.
And is this how a hack squat should be done if using free weights? http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/...HackSquat.html

not at all. with the V Squat you can focus entirely on the eccentric portion of the lift while using substantial loads. you can't do that using free weights Originally Posted by Egoatdoor
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.
