Hack squat machine: target quadriceps and glutes safely
In hack squat mode, the machine guides your movement along the linear rails for a heavy squat without the balance constraints of the free squat. The adjustable shoulder pads and the 66 x 56 cm platform allow stable, comfortable positioning whatever your build. The multi-notch safety stops limit the range at the bottom of the movement to protect your knees. It is the ideal quad training machine for building the quadriceps and the glutes with heavy loads in complete safety, at home as much as in a gym.
45° leg press: strengthen the whole lower body
In 45° leg press mode, you work quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings by varying foot placement on the textured platform. Feet high to emphasise glutes and hamstrings, feet low to isolate the quadriceps, feet wide to target the adductors. The linear rails ensure a smooth, regular path of motion, even under maximum load. Switching between press and hack squat takes a few seconds thanks to the quick-locking system.
