Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Lever Reverse Vertical Hack Squat.
A machine-based squat variation performed on a vertical hack squat machine with the body facing toward the pad (reverse position). This orientation shifts more emphasis onto the glutes and hamstrings compared to the standard forward-facing hack squat, while still heavily loading the quadriceps.
The Lever Reverse Vertical Hack Squat is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
