Squatting Seated

Rogers Athletic has over 30 engineers on staff. The process of engineering applies scientific principles to design allowing for the development and construction of machines that address the function of movement under specific conditions. This allows for a strength training product that is refined to maximize muscular adaptation.

It is known that altering knee angle alters the length and therefore the potential force produced by biarticular muscles. Biarticular muscles are muscles that cross two joints rather than just one, such as the rectus femoris and bicep femoris which span the hip and knee. Creating an exercise device such as the Pendulum Seated Squat addresses knee and hip angles by utilizing a linkage system. This connectivity enables rotary movement (which is critical) and matches the strength curve of the musculature in relation to where a joint is in space during movement.

As soon as one begins exercising on the Pendulum Seated Squat it is immediately known that this is what strength training is supposed to feel like and this seated squatting device will Get you Strong.
