To increase and maximize muscular development a training program should include a purposeful manipulation of variables such as volume, intensity, rest intervals, exercise selection, contraction type, and velocity. This also means program design should include single-joint and multi-joint exercises to closely mimic daily tasks and sport-specific movement patterns. The inclusion of single-limb exercise ensures the targeting of often used movement patterns and aides in correcting imbalances that may occur. The acquisition of single limb movement exercise devices integrated into an exercise facility is a necessary part of the rehabilitative process.

The Pendulum Seated Squat Pro is a unilateral and bilateral machine that addresses the important facets of training to maximize development of the lower limbs. Simply and quickly disengage the work arms to move from pressing with both legs to pressing with one or vice versa. A tremendous way to Get Strong.
