Is that a joke? If not you definitely have very poor knowledge on gym equipment and I recommend you not use any without getting a trainer. And watch The Hodgetwins old workout videos or other people like this channel
Mine across the street just got it… I been goin to the one across town… I just went across the street tonight and got humbled… it starts off at 105… I’m not strong enough yet
There is a mechanical advantage to the angle of the machine, right? I’ve been practicing sissy squats on the hack machine and I can do a few with weight… but I still can’t quite do them upright with no assistance
Hey there! Yes, the angle supports your back and helps you better control the movement. Being able to do sissy squats on a hack squat with weight is great work. Doing them unassisted upright is hard but with practice on the machine you’ll build the strength and control you need to do the movement. Keep it up!
They just added this machine to mine! They added a different variant and people were lining up to use it haha. I wonder tho.. Is PF going to raise the membership price?
I was so scared to use the machine, but this tutorial really gave me confidence. Thanks for that!
notice that the machine alone is 125lb starting weight. I found this out yesterday. but I am super stoked!
I am so happy to see Planet Fitness adding the hack squat machine and the machine that targets your glutes. Way to go guys🎉🎉🎉😂❤
Finally gonna free up some of those smith racks lol
mine just got one for the new year, lets gooo! I've always wanted a hack squat
Wow Planet Fitness is looking like a real gym now.
I knew you would come through with a tutorial ❤
You know it! 😌
So helpful, thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
I only squat with barbells but want to try this. Whats 125# on this compared to a barbell?
Can you do reverse with this? Like facing towards the back pads?

@@BrandTheSigmadamn good show
I’ve been going to my PF for 2 years now and I want to try squats but I’m nervous. I’m 51 with some arthritis in my knees.
I wouldn’t do this machine to start bc it is soooo heavy without weights
Try a smith machine - start with no weight and work ur way up 🤗 u got this!!!
I have the same problem. I read that you can go at least 90 degrees and not lower.😅
I hope they get one of these at mine. Doing my ghetto hack squats on the smith work ok. But i'd so much rather this.

This angle sucks it should go further back
I hope mine gets one
Is about time PF considering that this machine is safe on the knees than the leg press
They just added this machine to mine!

Now bring back the free weight benches.
You need to work on your foot placement and form. Your heels are coming off the platform and your back is rounding a bit at the bottom.
I cant see that sled weighing so much its so easy to move by its self.
Haven't seen a Hack Squat Machine at a Planet Fitness. It be cool if they added a Pendulum Squat Machine.
I just discovered one at mine today! So excited!
@diannathompson7712 cool
We have got to stop saying squat movements train hamstrings
Ehhh they do….
That’s like saying bench press doesn’t train front delts or triceps
No we don't
That's not the same at all? Hamstrings really do not get meaningful work on squats... @@elihughes1801
You fly in from stupid town or something?
Planet Fitness members don’t know how to do a hack squat 😂😂😂😂
Everyone was a beginner at some point 🤷🏾♀️
I hate their hack squat….the angle is too high it hurts my knees…..The one at Crunch Gym is better its at a lower angle and way more comfortable
