hack squats
Angled leg exercise
Hack squats are a lower-body exercise performed on a machine where you stand on a platform with your back against an angled pad, shoulders under supports, and push upward by extending your legs.
The fixed path isolates the quadriceps more than free-weight squats: I added hack squats to my leg day routine.
Named after early 20th-century wrestler George Hackenschmidt.
