Hack Squat Guide

The hack squat is a compound exercise that targets multiple muscle groups to perform a movement. During the hack squat, the quadriceps work to extend the leg and lift the weight, while the hamstrings and glutes assist in the movement. The calf muscles also engage to support the movement. The core muscles engage to maintain proper posture and prevent injury.

It's important to use proper form and to choose a weight that is appropriate for your individual strength level when performing the hack squat.
