Hammer Strength Plate Loaded Hack Squat

PL-HSQ2

The Hammer Strength Plate Loaded Hack Squat is built for targeted quad development with a 45-degree pressing angle and ultra-smooth linear bearings for controlled, consistent reps. Its adjustable foot platform shifts 8 degrees, giving athletes the equivalent of both a 3°and 10° heel wedge to fine-tune knee travel and dial in their quad focus.

KeyFeatures

Range of motion adjustment

The range of motion adjustment gives you control over your squat depth, with multiple positions to fit your need. Whether you're focused on deep, full-range reps or explosive partials, this feature allows you to set your stopping point - providing confidence and consistency under heavy loads.

Assisting band pegs

Assisting band pegs are accommodating resistance to match the body's natural strength curve - lighter at the bottom where athletes are the weakest and heavier at the top where they are the strongest. By adding bands, the effective weight of the carriage is reduced, making the squat more accessible for those who want or need to train lighter. The result is smoother reps, stronger lockouts, and scalable loading for athletes at every level.

Adjustable, non-slip platform

The adjustable, non-slip platform provides a large, stable surface for confident food placement in any stance - narrow, wide, staggered, or calf-focused. A simple lever adjustment lets athletes fine-tune platform angle to match ankle mobility, from a more traditional squat position to a heel-elevated feel that promotes deeper range, better posture, and increased quad activation. Built for control, stability, and performance on every rep.

Quadpower,unleashed

More than just a squat - this is quad-dominant strength at its finest. The 45-degree angle shifts the load forward, emphasising 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.

Loadupandgo

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, totalling 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.
