Plate Loaded Hack Squat: HOIST Roc-It RPL-5356

Buying a plate-loaded hack squat usually means you want one thing: heavy, repeatable leg training without the balance and setup chaos of free-weight-only days. The HOIST® Roc-It Hack Squat/Dead Lift/Shrug RPL-5356 is built for that exact job, with commercial-grade capacity, on-machine plate storage, and a footprint that makes sense for premium home gyms and high-traffic facilities.

Why a plate-loaded hack squat works

Direct answer: A plate-loaded hack squat is a top choice when you want quad-focused loading with consistent setup, set after set.

That consistency is the real advantage. When foot placement, torso position, and range of motion stay stable, you can progress with less “technique noise.”

 especially when fatigue hits. It’s also a strong fit for:

• Lifters who train solo and still want safe intensity
• Coaches who need a reliable lower-body pattern for many clients
• Facilities that want a squat option without constant spotter demand

What makes the HOIST RPL-5356 stand out

Direct answer: The RPL-5356 combines hack squat training plus deadlift and shrug patterns in one plate-loaded station, reducing equipment overlap.

HOIST positions the Roc-It line around movement that feels more natural to the user. Practically, that means a design intent focused on training comfort, repeatability, and multi-user friendliness, whether it’s a serious home athlete or a commercial floor with all-day sessions.

Three patterns, one footprint

Instead of buying separate units, this station supports:

• Hack squat work for lower-body strength and hypertrophy (quads, glutes)
• Deadlift-style loading within the station’s design
• Shrug work for upper traps and upper back

How to program it for results

Direct answer: Use it as your “stable heavy” squat pattern, then choose strength or hypertrophy parameters based on the block.

Practical programming that advanced lifters and trainers use:

• Strength: 4–6 sets × 3–6 reps, longer rest
• Hypertrophy: 3–5 sets × 8–15 reps, controlled tempo
• Finishers: 2–3 sets × 15–25 reps, strict form

Quick form cues that actually help

• Keep your reps identical, then add load
• Control depth before chasing weight
• Use smooth tempo, no bounce

Space planning that prevents headaches

Direct answer: Plan for the footprint plus loading and walking clearance so the area stays safe and fast.

Quick buyer checklist:

• Leave room to add plates without crowding traffic lanes
• Ensure the station doesn’t block cable paths or dumbbell routes
• Use the storage capacity to keep plates off the floor

With 720 lbs max storage capacity, it can hold enough plates to cut clutter and speed changeovers.

People also ask about plate-loaded hack squats

Is a plate-loaded hack squat better than a leg press?
Often, yes, for lifters who want a more squat-like feel with guided stability. A leg press can load heavy, but the hack squat tends to keep the pattern closer to “standing” strength.

Can a plate-loaded hack squat replace barbell squats?
In many training phases, yes. It’s ideal when you want heavy quad work with less technique variability. If you also train balance and bracing under a free bar, keep some barbell work in the plan.

Is a hack squat machine hard on the knees?
It depends on setup and control. Consistent foot placement, controlled depth, and progressive loading usually matter more than the machine itself.

How much weight capacity do advanced lifters need?
Headroom matters. With a 450 lb max exercise capacity and an 800 lb max weight capacity, this unit is built for long-term progression.
