How to perform the hack squat
- Position yourself on a hack squat machine with your shoulders and back against the pads, and your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform. Hold onto the handles and disengage the safety bars. Lower your body into a squat by bending your knees and hips, keeping your chest up and back straight. Push through your heels to return to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps.
