The hack squat uses an angled sled machine with the back braced against a pad, isolating the squat pattern and biasing the quadriceps while removing the balance demand. The fixed path lets you push close to failure safely and adjust quad emphasis with foot placement. Keep the back and shoulders pinned to the pads and lower until the thighs reach roughly parallel.
