Instead of doing normal hack squats, you need to face the hack squat machine and grab the seat from beneath. Then straighten your legs and maintain good posture, then start lifting the weights. But don’t bend your knees too much; try to keep your legs as straight as possible. The first time doing this exercise might be tricky, but after a few sets, you get a grip on the form.

The former WWE athlete also struggled a bit while doing his first set, but the former Mr. California fixed his form, and then Boogs did all the sets easily. After completing every set, they add one more plate to get optimal results from the exercise. They even did slow reps to increase the time under tension to get optimal results. However, this is not the first time the Titan has trained an athlete. Earlier, he trained a well-recognized UFC star. Let’s take a look at who the former powerlifter trained.
