20 Jan Korea’s NO.1 fitness brand, DRAX launched new exercise machine!
A new machine has been added to Korea’s No.1 fitness brand DRAX’s Pure Plate Series.
It’s Hack Squat, Machine, the best lower body exercise machine!
This is also DRAX’s first new product in a year, so the industry is paying keen attention.
Let’s find out more about it now!
What is Hack Squat?
It’s a squat where you stand on a sloping footplate and lean diagonally against the machine.
The difference with regular squats, where your body is vertical,
is that hack squats involve exercising with your body at an angle.
It’s easy to balance your entire body and focus on exercising your lower body since your spine is leaning against the machine.
In addition, its strength is that even people who have trouble with free squats due to poor ankle mobility or weak back and knees
can perform hack squats with stability.
What is DRAX Hack Squat Machine?
DRAX Hack Squat is DRAX’s philosophy condensed into a machine.
From the frame composition to the operation mechanism and the details of the finish,
the essence of exercising that DRAX pursues has been implemented.
Reduced shoulder pressure with soft cushion
The cushion that supports the shoulders has been made thicker.
The weight gets placed on the shoulders due to the structure of hack squat machines,
causing bruises on the shoulders or trapezius pain after high-weight exercise.
DRAX Hack Squat’s shoulder cushion is soft enough that you don’t have to worry.
(Its thickness is something you can’t easily find anywhere!!!)
The cushion, designed to reflect the natural shoulder angle, is comfortable and makes it easier to focus on your lower body.
Easy-to-operate safety lever
You have to pay more attention to operating a hack squat machine since it handles heavy weights.
DRAX Hack Squat Machine has a more intuitive design that minimizes the possibility of accidents caused by mistakes and wrong operations.
The safety lever on regular hack squat machines is a vertical handle,
so depending on your height and arm length, you may be unable to reach it and get into an accident.
DRAX Hack Squat Machine has a handle parallel to the frame for safer operation.
Firm frame and comfortable footplate
The firm frame and comfortable footplate give you the courage to challenge heavier weight.
You can try high weights as much as you want since the laser-processed steel pipe is strong and doesn’t wobble.
The footplate has an anti-slip finish, making it much safer, and its optimal angle reduces the pressure on your ankles.
If you place your feet properly on the footplate fixed at an appropriate angle, even those with low ankle mobility can easily experience full squats.
Scientific design
DRAX Hack Squat’s kinematic design provides the best exercise effect.
It forms an oblique exercise motion trajectory.
It has the best angle, so you don’t have to lie down too much for a reduced exercise effect
or stand up unnecessarily that only quadriceps femoris and gluteus are used, and no other muscles intervene.
You will naturally be in a posture that receives the strong weight from the plate only on your thighs,
and the pressure on your back will be significantly reduced compared to squats (free weight),
which require you to lift the barbell vertically from the ground.
