The CYBEX HACK SQUAT Analysed and Compared with other brands

Описание: Watson, Technogym, Matrix and Cybex Hack Squats compared.

I’ve noticed over recent years the demand for an old school Cybex Hack Squat has skyrocketed and it got me curious as to why this is. In general Hack Squat Machines don't tend to have any features that would make me want to pay a lot of money for them. Is this demand due to some amazing mechanical features they have? Or is it more so because of the brand name?

In this video we compare 4 common hack squat machines you might come across in the gym and see which one comes out on top from a mechanical perspective.

Let me know which other hack squats you like?

Note, this video does not represent advice, always best to try a machine before you buy it.
