Targeted muscle activation
The V squat machine allows for a more targeted activation of the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings, which can lead to better muscle development and strength gains. V squats are rather low-impact, and allow lifters to place less stress on their knees and hips, thereby reducing the risk of chronic overuse injuries and developing symptoms of discomfort.
Reduced stress on the lower back
Compared to traditional barbell squats, the V squat machine can help reduce the stress on the lower back. This can be beneficial for individuals who have lower back issues or who are recovering from an injury.
Increased stability and control
The V squat machine allows for a more controlled and stable movement, which can be beneficial for individuals who are new to strength training or who need to work on their form.
Versatility
The V squat machine can be used for a variety of exercises, including traditional V squats, reverse V squats, and single-leg variations, allowing for a wider range of training options.
Safety
Our Booty Builder V squat machine have safety features such as locking mechanism and safety stop, which can help prevent injuries and provide a greater sense of security during training.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about V Squat Machines
What is a V squat machine?
Short answer:
A V squat is a guided squat machine that allows you to train quads, glutes, and hamstrings with more stability and less lower-back stress.
Long answer:
A V squat machine provides a fixed movement path with back or shoulder support, allowing lifters to squat deeply while minimizing spinal compression. This makes it ideal for athletes who want the benefits of squats without the demands of balancing a barbell. The Booty Builder V Squat offers multiple platform angles and a smooth resistance curve for effective quad and glute development.

How do you use a V squat machine?
Short answer:
Load the machine, choose your stance, press up to unrack, and squat into your heels with control.
Long answer:
Load the machine, choose your stance, press up to unrack, and squat into your heels with control.
Long answer:
- Load plates on the machine
- Adjust the platform angle using the lever
-
Choose your variation:
- Standard V squat: back on pad, hands on handles
- Reverse V squat: face the machine, shoulders on pads
- Press up to unrack
- Squat down by bending hips and knees, keeping weight in the heels
- Drive up with glutes and quads
- After finishing, pull the handle and lower into the rack position
The fixed angle helps you maintain consistent form throughout the set.
What is a reverse V squat?
Short answer:
It’s a variation where you face the machine, increasing hip extension and glute engagement.
Long answer:
In a reverse V squat, your shoulders press against the pads while you face the machine and drive through your heels. This variation shifts tension toward the glutes, hamstrings, and adductors, making it an excellent addition for glute-focused training days. Many lifters find reverse V squats more natural and deeper than traditional back squats.

V Squat vs Hack Squat — what’s the difference?
Short answer:
V squat = more glutes + more natural movement Hack squat = more quads + more knee-dominant
Long answer:
Both machines are effective, but they target slightly differently:
V squat = more glutes + more natural movement Hack squat = more quads + more knee-dominant
Long answer:
Both machines are effective, but they target slightly differently:
| Feature | V Squat | Hack Squat |
|---|---|---|
| Movement path | More natural | More fixed & vertical |
| Glute activation | High | Moderate |
| Quad focus | High | Very high |
| Lower-back load | Low | Low–moderate |
| Stance options | Many | Few |
| Depth | Usually deeper | Can be limited |
The Booty Builder V Squat offers full-depth squatting with less knee stress and more hip involvement — perfect for balanced leg development.
Is the V squat good for glutes?
Short answer:
Yes — especially at deeper angles or when performing reverse V squats.
Long answer:
The angled platform allows lifters to reach a deeper range of motion, increasing glute stretch and tension. Reverse V squats shift even more load into the hips, making the machine extremely glute-friendly. Driving through the heels and using a slightly wider stance emphasizes glute activation further.
