HACK SQUAT MACHINE - FOOT PLACEMENT MATTERS!

What is the hack squat?

A machine used for overall lower body development, and also great for quad and glute growth but...

Your foot placement matters. The way you place your feet will determine the muscle groups targeted!

A wider (sumo) stance is going to target the inner thighs, otherwise known as the adductors

A higher, narrow stance is going to target the glutes, specifically the lower glutes, due to the increase in hip flexion

And a lower, narrow stance is going to target the quads, due to the increase in knee flexion

For ultimate quad growth, you will want to make sure you are getting much deeper into the squat, and for glutes, reaching parallel for depth is optimal!

Let me know if you give this exercise a try next time you're in the gym!
