‼️ATTENTION‼️

Reverse banding the hack squat is a beneficial technique to alleviate knee pain and assist out of the bottom of the movement. Though there is a correct way to do it.

Ideally the 1” orange band is used for the sole purpose of alleviating knee pain, though the 2” purple band can also be used.

The most common way people reverse band the hacksquat is the “suboptimal” example. This provides more assistance than is necessary and just allows the user to put more weight on too look “cool”. 💅

Let it be known, there is a fine line between alleviating knee pain and throwing a double band on to ego lift “for the gram”.

Good new equipment can be hard to find these days, but when we first met the guys from at the 2025 Arnold Classic, we were excited by what we saw and liked the machines they were putting out! Fast forward a few months later and now we’ve got our favorite Bolt Fitness pieces at both locations!

If you’ve tried the Bolt Fitness equipment at either location, leave your thoughts down in the comments and let us know if there are any other pieces you’d like to see from Bolt! 🙌🏻
