Plate loaded equipment is a type of strength training equipment that uses weight plates to provide resistance. The leg press and hack squat machine is a popular piece of plate loaded equipment that targets the muscles in the legs, particularly the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. The leg press portion of the machine allows users to sit down and push against a weighted platform using their legs. This exercise primarily targets the quadriceps, but also engages the hamstrings and glutes. The hack squat portion of the machine allows users to stand on a platform and push against a weighted sled at an angle. This exercise also targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, but places more emphasis on the glutes and hamstrings compared to the leg press. Overall, the leg press and hack squat machine is a versatile piece of equipment that can help users build strength and muscle in their lower body. It is important to use proper form and technique when using this equipment to prevent injury and maximize results.
