I've done blood deprivation sets on the leg press in similar fashion, but not with the hack squat due to equipment.
That dude's got a lot of heart, look at all the blood flowing through his skin.
Not criticizing the work ethic or the weight used or anything else, but ... don't understand why the bands are anchored above the weight rather than below it?
Got it ... thanks. We are stronger at the top of a Squat than at any lower point, so I figured the bands "should" be the other way to make that part of each rep more difficult, but I think like ol' Arthur "Nautilus" Jones too much sometimes. Was surprised to see the guy didn't wrap his knees too ... hardcore!
The machine was designed with too steep of an angle, and they would risk seriously injuring their knees at the bottom. So, they put the bands up top to slightly lighten the load at the bottom.
