Watson Linear Hack Squat - 45 Degree
The Watson Linear Hack Squat delivers an incredibly smooth movement through a heavy-duty carriage, specifically designed to handle the most punishing leg sessions. Built around Thompson 40mm linear bearings, the travel remains frictionless even when loaded to the max, ensuring the resistance stays on your quads rather than the machine. The oversized, adjustable footplate of this hack squat provides a massive surface area, allowing you to switch between narrow stances for teardrop development or wider positions to hit the glutes and hams.
Engineered for longevity and safety, the Watson Linear Hack Squat machine features dual-position lockouts and a heavy-duty frame that can be fully customised in your choice of upholstery and powder coat colours. The back support is ergonomically angled to eliminate lower back strain, providing a stable platform to drive from when moving extreme weight. Whether you're using it for high-volume hypertrophy or explosive power sets, this hack squat offers the industrial-strength reliability Watson Strength is known for, finished with top and bottom band pegs to provide constant tension throughout the entire range of motion.
