Hammer Strength Ground Base® Multi-Squat

The Ground Base® Multi-Squat allows users to face either direction based on their training goals and comfort. Facing out provides a more traditional squat setup with a natural grip on the angled handles, while facing in can adjust the loading pattern and engagement. Both options reinforce full-body stability and proper force production.

The angled handles offer both high and low grip positions to accommodate different movements. Use the higher handles for squats and lunges to maintain an upright posture and controlled movement. The lower handles are ideal for deadlifts and hinge-based exercises, promoting a strong, athletic pull from the ground.

While the Ground Base® Multi-Squat still reinforces full-body stabilisation and controlled force production, it allows for a more guided motion, whereas a traditional barbell squat is not guided.

By reinforcing proper foot positioning, balance, and force production from the ground up, the Ground Base® Multi-Squat helps athletes build strength and coordination that directly translates to explosive power in sport movements.

The top-loading position creates a more descending strength curve, meaning the resistance is highest at the beginning of the movement and gradually decreases as you reach the top. In contrast, the low-loading position generates a more ascending strength curve, where resistance is lighter at the start and increases as you complete the lift.
