45 Degree Hack Squat | Plate Loaded machine - Compact Select

Hack Squat: 45° Guided Hack Squat for Quadriceps and Glutes – Compact Select

The Compact Select Hack Squat lever machine, also known as the hack squat, allows you to perform the squat with your back fully supported and a guided 45° path. It is designed for intensive work of the quadriceps and glutes, involving the hamstrings, offering deep stimulation without the technical demands of the free barbell squat.

Its plate-loaded system provides direct and progressive resistance throughout the entire range of motion. The non-slip platform allows different foot placements to vary the emphasis between quadriceps and posterior chain, while the secondary pre-start support plate enables taller users to position themselves without excessive knee flexion.

Back support and guided path for safe loading

The padded backrest keeps the spine aligned throughout the movement, reducing lumbar pressure compared to the free squat and allowing full range work with heavy loads. The shoulder rollers distribute the weight comfortably, and the safety stops make it easy to get on and off the machine without assistance. Built on a Q235 steel tube frame measuring 100 × 50 × 3 mm with anti-corrosion galvanized coating, it offers the stability needed for intensive use in professional gyms.
