Sled Hack Squat
The sled hack squat is a lower body strength exercise performed on a sled machine. It primarily targets the glutes, with secondary emphasis on the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. The movement involves squatting down with the support of the sled machine, which helps guide the motion and provides stability.

- 2.Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform, toes slightly pointed outwards.
- 3.Hold onto the handles or bars for stability.
