How to do it

Steps :

1.) Start by setting up the hack squat machine with the amount of weight that you would like to perform for this exercise and then place yourself with your chest flat on the pad and shoulders up against the shoulder rests.

2.) Push up with your body to remove the weights up off of the stacks and place your arms on the side handles as this will be your starting position.

3.) Slowly lower the weight down until your thighs create right angles with your calves and hold for a count.

4.) Return back to the starting position.

5.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
