✅ Builds strong quads & glutes
✅ Strengthens core & spinal stabilizers

✅ Joint-friendly
✅ Boosts athletic carryover (jumping, sprinting, change of direction)

Perfect for athletes, those with back sensitivity, or anyone wanting more variety in their squat training.

Pro tip: Step back from the cable stack to increase core demand. Without a cable system, use exercise bands.
