Hack squat vs leg press
The hack squat and leg press are popular lower body exercises with distinct benefits. The hack squat, performed on a machine, simulates squatting while supporting the back, primarily targeting the quadriceps, but also engaging the glutes and hamstrings. It allows for a more focused quad workout due to its upright position. Meanwhile, the leg press involves sitting on a machine and pushing a platform with your legs, targeting the same muscle groups. It enables lifting heavier weights, offering an alternative for those with back issues. Choosing between them depends on personal goals and physical conditions.
