The Pendulum Seated Squat was created to meet coaches’ requests for a way to train the legs independently or bilaterally with maximum loads.

This unique linkage maintains a consistent foot angle for knee and ankle relief making this a great training or re-hab tool. The strength curve on this machine intensifies the amount of tension placed on the quadriceps and unlike other machines activates the vastus medialis so, it truly exercises the entire quadricep muscle.

Train multiple foot positions, changing muscle emphasis.

Eighteen different seat settings to allow athletes of all sizes to train in comfort.
