Sled Full Hack Squat
The hack squat taken all the way down until the thighs meet the chest, then pressed back up; the full range asks for ankles and hips that let the back stay on the pad.
How to do it
Setup
Shoulders under the rests, the whole back on the pad, feet about shoulder-width on the platform.
Steps
- Release the safeties and lower until the thighs meet the chest.
- Keep the heels down and the hips pressed into the pad at the bottom.
- Drive back up through the whole foot, stopping short of locking the knees.
Common mistakes
Hips curling off the pad at the bottom: stop where they still stay down and build the depth. Heels lifting in the hole: set the feet a little higher on the platform. Bouncing out of the bottom: turn around under control.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale on the press.
