45 Degree Leg Press & Hack Squat Machine
Plate-Loaded Dual-Function Lower Body Pressing Station | Model 5450
Overview
The 45 Degree Leg Press & Hack Squat Machine 5450 is a dual-function, plate-loaded lower-body strength station designed to support controlled squat-pattern training through two distinct movement setups.
By combining a 45-degree leg press with a standing hack squat configuration, this machine allows users to train the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings under load while reducing balance and spinal demands compared to free-weight squatting.
At OLIJOY FITNESS, this machine is positioned as a supplemental lower-body tool. It does not replace barbell squats, but provides a stable platform for volume work, hypertrophy blocks, and structured accessory training in commercial and studio environments.
Training Role & Application
This machine supports two primary squat-pattern variations:
- 45° Leg Press – Seated sled press for controlled lower-body loading
- Hack Squat – Upright pressing pattern with back support and fixed movement path
Common applications include:
- Lower-body volume training alongside barbell squats and deadlifts
- Quad-focused hypertrophy work using hack squat mechanics
- Posterior-chain involvement through adjusted foot placement
- Accessory training with reduced coordination and balance demands
The guided track improves repeatability and load tolerance. It does not eliminate the need for appropriate depth, conservative loading, or controlled execution.
Key Benefits
- Two squat-pattern variations in a single machine
- Plate-loaded resistance allows direct and transparent progression
- Fixed movement path supports repeatable setup in shared gym environments
- High load capacity suitable for commercial use
- Space-efficient alternative to separate leg press and hack squat stations
This machine improves training efficiency. It does not replace fundamental squat mechanics.
Design & Features
- Dual-Function Configuration – Allows transition between 45-degree leg press and hack squat positions without changing machines.
- Plate-Loaded Sled System – Compatible with standard Olympic weight plates. Load progression is determined entirely by plate selection.
- Large Non-Slip Footplate – Supports varied foot positions to bias quadriceps, glutes, or hamstrings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Click a question to expand and view the answer.
Does this machine replace barbell squats?
No. This machine is a supplemental lower-body tool. It supports volume work and hypertrophy, but does not replace free-weight squat training.
What is the difference between the leg press and hack squat on this machine?
The leg press is performed in a seated position with a sled, while the hack squat places the user in a more upright posture with back support, increasing quadriceps emphasis.
Is this suitable for commercial gym use?
Yes. The heavy-duty steel construction and plate-loaded sled are designed for frequent use in commercial gym environments.
Is this safer than free-weight squatting?
The guided track reduces balance demands and setup complexity. Safety still depends on appropriate load selection, controlled depth, and proper execution.
Are weight plates included?
No. Olympic weight plates are not included unless otherwise specified.
Final Position
The 45 Degree Leg Press & Hack Squat Machine 5450 is a purpose-built dual-function lower-body station designed for controlled, repeatable loading in commercial environments.
It does not promise strength gains. It provides a stable platform for the work.
