How to do it
- Lean your back against the hack squat pad with your shoulders under the shoulder pads.
- Place your feet on the platform closer than shoulder width, toes slightly out, then release the safety handles.
- Slowly bend your knees until your thighs are close to parallel with the platform.
- Push back up without locking your knees, and re-engage the safeties when you finish.
Beginner tip: Keep your back and head against the pad the whole time.
