I have never done hack squats before and we have 2 different machines at my gym. One is the more traditional hack squat, where you are on a moving sled at a 45 degree angle. The 2nd is called a "Super Squat".

I opted for the Super Squat machine with my back to the pad facing away from the machine. This is supposed to be the hack squat position. It was a much different feeling than anything that was used to and I felt that it put too much pressure on my lower back. For the last set I switched positions and faced towards the machine. It was more comfortable for my back but still not a movement that I'm really fond of. I may either try the other machine or barbell hack squats next week.

I had this crazy idea that I would attempt body weight pullups, but when I couldn't manage more than 6 reps, I switched to pulldowns.

I finished up with 20 minutes of cardio. Just to punish my legs a little I did 10 minutes on the stair mill and covered 30 flights. Then I moved onto the rowing machine for another 10 minutes.
