How to do it
Execution:
  1. 1
    Set up on the 45° hack squat with your feet on the platform and shoulders firm against the pads.
  2. 2
    Release the safety, then lower by bending your knees to a comfortable depth.
  3. 3
    Press through your heels to rise, controlling both the descent and the ascent.
Tip: keep your back fully against the pad and avoid locking out the knees at the top.
