How to perform Hack Machine Sissy Squat

1. Stand in the hack squat machine with your shoulders beneath the pads and your feet flat about shoulder-width apart.
2. Extend your hips forward and establish a controlled starting position.
3. Bend your knees to descend, allowing your heels to rise as your knees and pelvis move forward.
4. Keep your hips extended rather than folding into an ordinary hack squat.
5. Pause within the range you can control, then extend your knees to rise through the same path.
6. Return to the feet-flat starting position before repeating.
