Hack squat: how to do it
1 of 3
Back on the pad, shoulders under the pads
Starting position
Stand in the machine with your back against the pad, shoulders under the pads and feet shoulder-width on the platform.
The movement
Bend your knees and hips to lower your body, then press through your whole foot until your legs are straight.
Most common mistake
Don't let your knees cave inward, keep them pointing in the same direction as your toes throughout the movement.
