Plate Loaded Hack Squat
Our Hammer Strength Plate Loaded Hack Squat is engineered for targeted quad development, driving lower-body strength with a 45-degree pressing angle that emphasizes knee flexion and extension. Linear bearings ensure ultra-smooth motion, keeping every rep fluid and controlled.
The flip-in, flip-out racking handles provide seamless transitions and a secure grip, allowing athletes to stay locked in and focused. Set athletes up to build explosive power, speed, and endurance with our hack squat machine, designed to maximize quad activation and drive performance forward.

Quad Power, Unleashed
More than just a squat—this is quad-dominant strength at its finest. The 45-degree angle shifts the load forward, emphasizing quad drive, knee extension, and lower-body explosiveness. Whether accelerating off the line, driving through contact, or building a rock-solid foundation, our unique movement reinforces powerful, game-ready strength. Our controlled path keeps tension where it matters most, allowing athletes to push deep into each rep while maintaining stability and control.
Load Up and Go
Strength has no limits, and neither should a Hack Squat. The two XL weight rods can handle up to eight 45 lb plates per side, totaling a massive 720 lbs of loading potential. Whether chasing raw strength, hypertrophy, or endurance, our plate loaded design allows the athlete to dictate the challenge. Load it up, lock in, and drive through with confidence—because real power is built rep after rep.
