Sled Closer Hack Squat

Muscles involved

The Sled Closer Hack Squat elevates your leg training by offering an exceptional blend of athletic stability and targeted strength. Placing your feet close together on this leverage machine shifts significant focus onto your quadriceps and glutes, allowing you to push hard while the guided support of the machine keeps your posture secure. This narrow stance builds incredible knee stability and quad drive, which directly enhances explosive athletic actions like sprinting, cutting, and vertical jumping. The solid base you develop through this movement translates into better balance and force production on the field or court, making your lower body far more resilient, stable, and ready for high-intensity movement patterns.

How to do it

1. Stand in the machine with your shoulders under the pads and feet together. 2. Lower into a squat, keeping your knees together and back straight. 3. Go until your thighs are parallel to the platform. 4. Push upward to return to the starting position.
