Overview
Narrow stance hack squats are a of the hack squat that targets the quads more than the traditional hack squat. To perform this exercise, you will need a hack squat machine and a weight barbell. Start by setting the seat of the hack squat machine to a height that allows you to comfortably reach the bar with your legs extended. Then, load the barbell with a weight that you can comfortably lift for 8-12 repetitions. Grasp the bar with an overhand grip and step inside the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart. With your knees slightly bent, slowly lower the bar until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Pause for a second, then push the bar back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions. Narrow stance hack squats are a great way to build muscle and strength in your quads. They are also a good option for people who have knee pain, as they put less stress on the knees than traditional squats.
