How to Reverse Hack Squat

Starting Position

1. Position your body in the center of the machine and place your feet slightly in front of the center of the footplate.

2. Spread your legs shoulder-width apart and turn your toes outwards at about 20-30 degrees.

3. Keep your chest up and your back straight.

Proper Form

1. Position your body in the center of the machine.

2. Set your stance to shoulder-width apart, with your toes turned out at a 20-30 degree angle.

3. Tighten your abdomen and keep your back straight as you lower yourself until your thighs are vertical to your body.

4. Push strongly with your heels and straighten your knees (be careful not to fully lock your knees).

Breathing Technique

Inhale while doing a squat and exhale while returning to the original position.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to lean your upper body too far forward.

2. Keep your chest up and engage your core to avoid bending your back.

3. Don't excessively arch your back while trying to keep it straight.

4. Please do not stick your hips too far back.

5. Make sure your feet do not lift off the ground.

6. When standing up, please ensure your knees do not come together.
