Difference between Hack Squat, Leg Press and Smith Squat?
I understand the difference between a leg press machine and a smith squat machine
But when a certain fitness celebrity on youtube says they are doing a hack squat and using a machine it looks a lot like they are using a leg press machine to me
They also talk about how difficult it is and conplain when most people can lift the most weight doing a leg press
I am wondering if there is a subtle difference that makes it difficult?

Well, Tom Platz has some good takes on foot position when doing leg press.
Nevertheless, it is more "training to failure" to stimulate growth. Mike Mentzer philosophy is benchmark, imo.
His books are better than Schwarzenegger, and Tom Glass.
