Yes. Look on the side of the machine for a "Starting Weight". If it's not there, then guess. If it's a Hammer Strength machine, it is probably close to that of an actual bar. I know those guys strive for that. Why they can implement that on their smith machines I have no idea.

Thanks. I haven't seen a starting weight on the machine but it looks to be of the same length and thickness as the Olympic bars in the gym. I find the hack squat much easier than the back squat (placing the bar on my back). I just started doing them and going as low as is possible (would be ATG if a "regular" squat).
10 x 205
10 x 280
10 x 330
6 x 330
I want to get those numbers up. - 12-05-2008, 06:23 PM
