Plate Loaded Reverse V-Squat
The Reverse V-Squat machine expands what one machine can do. Built on the original V-Squat, it adds the range today’s training demands. Athletes can load the traditional V-Squat or flip to a reverse, front-squat position that hits the movement from a new angle.
An adjustable foot platform sets each athlete’s press angle, while dual band pegs add assisted or resisted training, and an optional platform extension opens single-leg and band training options. One plate loaded squat machine, two distinct movements, in a single footprint.

More Dynamic. More Capable.
The original V-Squat earned its place on the training floor. This one earns more. The Reverse V-Squat keeps the proven movement and adds a reverse position, an adjustable platform, dual band pegs, and an optional extension for single-leg work and band training variations the original never could. For facilities, that's more lower-body training in the same footprint. Same foundation. Significantly more capable.
Power Your Leg Day with Confidence
There's a fine line between stability and restriction, and the Reverse V-Squat finds the balance. The adjustable platform, back support, and overhead grips give athletes the confidence to attack heavy reps, while the movement isn't locked to a rigid, linear track. That freedom lets them press through their own mechanics, more like a real squat and less like a machine, so coaches can load it hard and trust the carryover to the field.

FAQ
What is the Hammer Strength Reverse V-Squat?
The Hammer Strength Reverse V-Squat is a plate loaded squat machine that trains two patterns in one frame: the traditional V-Squat and a reverse, front-squat variation. It features an adjustable foot platform, dual assisting/resisting band pegs, and an optional extension for split squats and single-leg work, making it a flexible leg machine for a full roster of athletes.
What's the difference between the Reverse V-Squat and a traditional V-Squat?
A traditional V-Squat is a single-direction machine. The Reverse V-Squat keeps that proven pattern and adds a reverse position for a front-squat variation, an adjustable platform to dial in press angle, dual band pegs for assisted or resisted training, and an optional extension for single-leg work. It’s the same foundation with significantly more programming range.
What muscles does the V-Squat work?
The V-Squat works the quadriceps, glutes (including the gluteus maximus), hamstrings, and adductors, with the trunk stabilizing throughout. The traditional position loads the posterior chain and glutes, while the reverse position shifts emphasis toward the quads — so squats muscles worked span the full lower body across two patterns.
Is the V-Squat the same as a hack squat?
No. A hack squat machine loads the quads along a fixed vertical track. The V-Squat follows an angled, arcing path closer to a free squat, letting athletes train their natural mechanics. The Reverse V-Squat goes further than a standard or reverse hack squat by offering both a forward and a reverse squat pattern in one machine.
How does the Reverse V-Squat compare to a leg press, hack squat, or pendulum squat?
A leg press is a horizontal push, a hack squat and pendulum squat are fixed vertical patterns. The Reverse V-Squat offers two distinct squat variations — forward and reverse — plus band training, an adjustable platform, and optional single-leg work. For facilities wanting one plate loaded squat machine that covers the most lower-body training ground, it's one of the most versatile options in the category.
How do you use and adjust the V-Squat machine?
Load plates evenly on both arms, set the adjustable foot platform to your stance and variation, position your shoulders under the pads, and press through the platform. For the reverse V-Squat, face into the machine and drop the platform to its lowest setting for a more vertical, explosive press out of the bottom.
What is the optional platform extension, and who is it for?
The optional platform extension adds surface area for split squats, single-leg work, and band setups the standard platform doesn't allow. It's built for coaches and programs that prioritize unilateral leg development. It's an optional upgrade that not every facility needs, but it's a meaningful addition for programs prioritizing unilateral lower-body programs.
Can the Reverse V-Squat be used for single-leg and band training?
Yes. Dual assisting/resisting band pegs let you add accommodating resistance or assistance to any set, and the optional extension opens up for split squats and single-leg work. Together they make the Reverse V-Squat one machine that supports unilateral training, power development, and movement coaching for every level.
Why is the Reverse V-Squat a smart buy for a facility or weight room?
The Reverse V-Squat replaces several pieces with one. The Reverse V-Squat delivers two squat patterns plus single-leg and band training in a single footprint, so operators get more lower-body training per square foot. Built to the Hammer Strength standard, it stands up to high-traffic commercial use and programs for athletes at every level.
