Hack Squat
Back against the sled, feet on the platform; squat deep and press back up.
How to do it
Setup
Back and hips on the pad, shoulders under the rests, feet shoulder-width mid-platform.
Steps
- Lower until the knees reach about 90° or slightly deeper.
- Keep the hips glued to the pad.
- Press through the whole foot without slamming the knees straight.
Common mistakes
Heels rising: feet higher on the platform. Hips curling off the pad at depth: shorten the range. Knees caving: track them over the toes.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale on the press.
