Hack Squat

Sit in the simulator. Rest your shoulders on the provided supports. Press your back against the bench. Place your feet on the platform shoulder width apart. The toes are slightly turned outward. Hint: Keep your head up and your back pressed against the bench throughout the exercise. Grasp the handles with your hands and remove the safety stoppers. Straighten your legs. This will be your starting position. Begin to slowly lower yourself in the simulator, bending your knees. The head is raised. Continue downward until the angle between your thighs and calves is just under 90 degrees. Hint: when performed correctly, the knees should form an imaginary straight line with the toes of the feet and be perpendicular to the line of the torso. As you exhale, lift up, straightening your legs, pushing off the platform, returning to the starting position. Complete the required number of repetitions.
