HACK SQUAT (PLATE LOADED)

WHAT IS PLATE LOADED HACK SQUAT

Plate Loaded Hack Squat machine is a strength training machine that allows you to perform squats while standing, providing a stable and controlled movement path for building lower body strength. The machine is designed with adjustable foot positions and shoulder pads for support, and it’s typically loaded with weight plates for resistance.

BENEFIT OF PLATE LOADED HACK SQUAT

• Greater weight loading: Compared to machine-based hack squats, the plate loaded version allows you to progressively overload your muscles with heavier weights, leading to more significant strength and size gains.
• Adjustable range of motion: Unlike the fixed range of motion of some machines, you can adjust the starting and ending points of the movement on the plate loaded hack squat to customize the exercise to your individual needs and fitness level.
• Reduced risk of injury: The controlled environment of the machine helps to protect your lower back and knees, making it a safer alternative to free weight squats for beginners and lifters with existing injuries.
