SQUATS on the HACK SQUAT MACHINE

SQUATS on the HACK SQUAT MACHINE:

> PUSH PLAY <

If your gym has this style of hack squat machine, it is super fabulous for the lower body!  I like that you have the option to stand chest facing the machine.  When you stand that way and the way the machine is designed, it forces your body to get that butt back there on your way down.  A good time to make sure we have on 'squat approved' pants!

I have on 45lb plates.  Get on the platform with your heels to the very back and feet placed to the outer edges with toes slightly turned out.  Squat down, keeping your weight in your heels and push through your heels to stand back up.  I also like this machine using one leg at a time and for shoulder presses.  Videos to come for another day.

Then throw in an active rest that also targets the lower body like these dumbbell jump squats.  Try alternating between a wide leg jump squat and a closed leg jump squat.  Go until your burning.  I am holding 10lb DBs in each hand.
