Instructions

Lever Good Morning on the Hack Squat Machine

Starting Position

1. Set the desired weight on the machine.
2. Stand facing the machine and place your shoulders against the padded support.
3. Position your feet about shoulder-width apart on the platform. Your toes should point slightly outward.

Movement Instructions

1. Grip the handles of the machine tightly for support.
2. Begin by bending slightly at the hips while keeping a neutral spine. You should feel a stretch in your hamstrings.
3. Lower your torso forward slowly until your upper body is nearly parallel to the ground. Keep a slight bend in your knees during this movement.
4. Pause for a moment at the lowest point of the movement while maintaining control.
5. Push through your heels to return to the starting position. Focus on squeezing your glutes and hamstrings as you rise.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring each movement is controlled and steady.

Tips for Beginners

- Start with lighter weights to master the form before progressing to heavier weights.
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to support your lower back.
- Avoid rounding your back; maintain a straight, neutral spine during the movement.
