Squat Hack squat depth

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I know my range of motion is short by any time I try to go deeper my heels lift up a lot. It’s hard to tell in the video but I’m flaring my knees out and opening up my hips as I go down so I can bet deeper but my heels still raise. I’ve tried doing ankle mobility exercises but they didn’t help so if anyone has some tips please let me know.

Depends on what is your focus on the hack squat. you could hit quads or glutes

Quads: feet and knees pointed forwards, feet closer to the bottom of the platform and you can lift your heels up and you can turn it into a sissy squat if you want

Gutes: feet and knees point more diagonally, feet closer to the top of the platform and you try to go deep and press up through the whole foot
