Banded hack squats

[Derek LeJeune]

I’m a couple of weeks into push/pull/lower and continuing to watch some of Joe’s videos on YouTube.  I’ve been doing banded hack squats looping the band around the bottom of the platform and over the top portion so there’s more tension at the top.  In watching the videos, it looks like most banded hacks are with the band at the top of the platform attaching to the headrest area.  I realize you get a more or less similar effect each way with the top portion being harder than the bottom, but I was curious if one was preferred.  I’m enjoying/hating how I’m doing it now but always open to better options.  Thanks, guys.

Im sure one of the coaches will jump on here but I remember Joe saying in one of his videos that one isn’t inherently better than the other. He basically explained that it comes down to ease of set up. I’m pretty sure he also references McGyver at one point in the video.

Well I just realized they answered this on the “Anything Else” forum yesterday, so I’m good to go with that.
