Booty Builder boosts impact of squats

The Booty Builder family of equipment has been extended with the Hack Squat machine, which claims to provide a more targeted activation of the quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings. It can be used for a variety of exercises, including traditional hack squats, reverse hack squats and single-leg variations. It also allows for a more controlled and stable movement, which can be beneficial for individuals who are new to strength training or who need to work on their form. The Hack Squat features a locking mechanism and safety stop and, compared to traditional barbell squats, claims to help reduce the stress on the lower back. UK distributor React Fitness said this can be beneficial for individuals who have lower back issues or who are recovering from an injury. react-fi tness.com
