Cleans+Front Squats
Really? How does that help? The question was “What do you think of bb hacks?”, not “how does -insert favorite author- suggest you go about gaining leg size”.
While were at it though, how much leg size have you gained from front squatting what you can clean?

Oh wait, nevermind. It all makes sense now.
so where do you weigh in on them? i know that for the most part you know your shit, so im curious.
i just did em for the first time last week and they made me bust out in a sweat after one or two sets and i felt em decently in the quads. i just want to switch things up a bit because ive been starting with leg presses for moooonths and i dont have the best hips and ankles, among other things for traditional squats.
i mean if a regular hacksquat machine works im guessing a BB one would too? the only thig that sucks is the bar-burn i get on the back of my legs since its like a reverse deadlift. my legs are just too fuckin small and i need to get them bigger.

I have no experience with bb hacks although I can tell you for sure that the 45 degree machine hack is an awesome exercise that I feel works very well for me.
I have knee issues and I dont think that getting into the position necessary for me to do bb hacks with my relatively long torso without rounding my back would be very good for my knees. So, my answer is- not for me but if you can make it gorilla strong, then I dont see why it wouldnt be a good exercise.
