Common questions
What can I do instead of the Sled Closer Hack Squat?
The closest substitutes are the Tire Flip, Band Squat and Jump Squat. Each trains the glutes as its primary muscle, so sets and reps can stay the same as your Sled Closer Hack Squat programming.
Is there a bodyweight alternative to the Sled Closer Hack Squat?
Yes — the Jump Squat trains the glutes with no added weight. Progress by adding reps, slowing the tempo, or adjusting leverage.
Can I just rotate these with the Sled Closer Hack Squat?
Yes. Rotating two or three same-muscle movements every few weeks keeps progress moving without changing what the session trains — they all load the glutes first.
