The hack squat.
A perfectly designed machine to allow a similar squat pattern to help build legs and build strength.
A trend in fitness is doing exercises on it that well in fairness look cool but ultimately are less beneficial that say a barbell lunge or rdl.
And if you mess up an rdl on a hack squat best of luck walking for a few weeks.
This fitness trend is entertainment vs efficiency.
Spend 2-3 months mastering the squat for you
Find your foot position find your groove and build it
Go chase 1 plate 2 plate of even 6 plates and get your form perfect and results will follow. Doing 20 different leg exercises is fun but mostly entertainment vs progress. And you doing lunges on a hack squat stop people who actually want to torture themselves from using it.
