Hack Squats
Instructions
- Lay back-rest with the pads on your shoulders and your feet shoulder width apart on the platform.
- Push off the platform using your heels and keeping you back flat against the support, then unlock the weight. Do not lock your knees out.
- Slowly lower the weight by bending at the knees until your knees are 90 degrees.
- By pushing with the heels of your feet, slowly return to the standing position, contracting your thighs.
Tips
- Keep your back flat against the back rest. Going too low may cause injury to your knees.
