Back In Black (with Back to Back Hacks). LIFETIME DRUG-FREE.

Leverage hack squats (300lbs) straight into Smith hacks (240lbs). The leverage machine is easier to get in and out of, but the Smith version has slightly better biomechanics. I made some detachable handles for the Smith machine that, with some roller pads slipped on, are ideal shoulder braces for hacks.

Do you still split your body into 4 and work every 3rd day? How many working sets do you do per part? Great vids, thanks for sharing the motivation.

@WChardgainer

I usually do 4-10 working sets for large muscles and 2-4 sets for smaller muscles. Ideally:

back/hams: 3 sets of a deadlift variation, 3 sets pulldowns, 3 sets rows.

quads/hips/triceps/calves: 3 sets squats, 3-4 sets tricep ext or press variety, 3 sets calf raises

chest/biceps: 2-3 sets decline press, 2-3 sets incline, 3 sets curls

shoulders: 3-4 sets overhead press, 3-4 sets laterals, 3 sets shrugs

Each muscle once every week or two, whenever time and energy levels permit.

However, sometimes I'll do multiple sub-failure sets, or a single high intensity set, depending on how I feel. Most importantly I just have fun and enjoy the exertion, and don't train too frequently.

After a few progressive warmups, the superset in the video was my entire leg workout on that particular day.

Looks great, do you do anything for hip or ankle mobility?

@sn0boarder2001

No special mobility exercises--just what I'm doing here.

Thanks for an inspiring video. I admire your effort and determination. Help me understand the logic of a leg-training video with the legs covered up. Seeing muscle groups work is motivating.
