A man using a hip press

When studying and comparing joint and muscle biomechanics in the general population, it is found that most choose deeper knee flexion in leg pressing than when squatting. A greater load about the hip joint was also observed in the leg press with virtually all the force produced by the muscles being used to accelerate and decelerate the weight.

The Pendulum Hip Press was designed to provide the user a strength curve to maximize these forces that the hips are able to produce when the user is in their lowest position. Not only is the force maximized but so are the training results.
