what do hack squats work

Hack squats are a lower body compound movement that targets several large leg muscles, including the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves. The hack squat is done with a machine that has back support and is similar to the leg press, but done at an upright 45-degree angle. The machine supports the weight, allowing you to focus on driving the movement with your legs. The hack squat is an excellent exercise for strengthening and building your leg muscles, especially your quads. It is a great alternative to the traditional free barbell squat for building lower body strength. The hack squat is also a good exercise for beginners to the squat. The hack squat requires a machine, so you’ll probably need to be at the gym to perform it.
