How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Step into the hack-squat sled with the back against the pad and shoulders under the supports.
  2. 02Place the feet closer than shoulder width while leaving enough room for the knees to track over the toes.
  3. 03Brace the trunk, unlock the sled, and lower by bending the knees and hips together.
  4. 04Descend only as far as the heels stay down and the pelvis stays against the pad.
  5. 05Drive through the whole foot to stand the sled up without snapping the knees into lockout.
