About

Use the machine to press and work your entire lower body.

How to Hack Press Machine

Starting Position

1. Lie back against the inclined surface and secure your shoulders on the shoulder pads.

2. Place your feet shoulder-width apart on the footrest and slightly bend your knees to start.

3. Position yourself so that your hips do not lift off the backrest.

Proper Form

1. Slowly lower the footrest towards your body while bending your knees.

2. If your thighs are low enough, push the footrest with your heels to straighten your legs.

3. Keep your knees slightly bent to avoid locking them completely and repeat.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pushing the platform away, and inhale when lowering it.

Precautions

1. Please keep your back pressed against the backrest without lifting your waist.

2. Please keep your knees facing forward and not inward.

3. Prioritize depth with a manageable weight rather than excessive weight.
