Hack squat

Advanced Hack Squat is the isotonic machine designed to develop lower body strength in a safe, deep, and controlled manner.

The TECA hack squat replicates the free squat with an intelligent and adaptive trajectory: the Natural Push Unit (variable kinematic pantograph system) harmonizes the user’s push curve with the mechanics of the machine, reducing stress peaks on the knees and back and ensuring fluidity throughout the movement.

Compared to traditional linear guides, the advanced hack squat allows for a more vertical push, greater depth, and even load distribution across the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings.

So, no dead spots, no unnecessary compression, maximum execution quality.

A distinctive feature is the integrated rear footplates, which allow for safe static lunges with a guided position.

They are ideal for unilateral work, correcting asymmetries, and improving posture control.

This feature expands the technical, athletic, and rehabilitative use of the machine, making it extremely versatile.

The inclined platform, the mobile backrest that is independent of the load, and the ergonomic handles ensure stability, comfort, and efficient force transfer.

Easy access and numerous variations (bilateral, unilateral, isometric, eccentric work, partial ROM for isolated strength on portions of movement) make the Advanced Hack Squat suitable for both beginners and advanced athletes.

Main advantages
