How to do it

Steps :

1.) Start by setting up a hack squat machine with the weight that you would like to perform for this exercise, placing your back on the pad and your shoulders up against the shoulder pads.

2.) Place your feet on the platform then lift your right foot off of the platform and extend your left leg in front of you.

3.) Push the weight up off of the stack, place your hands on the handles of the machine and this will be your starting position.

4.) Slowly lower the weight down until your left thigh is parallel with the ground and your calf muscle and hold for a count.

5.) Return back to the starting position.

6.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
