What is it?
The Pendulum Squat is a compound lower body exercise that provides a guided squatting movement to build strength and muscle through the legs. The unique swinging motion of the machine helps maintain a natural squat path while providing support and stability, allowing you to train your lower body with controlled, deep repetitions.

Primary Muscles Worked

• Quadriceps

• Glutes

• Hamstrings

• Calves

How to Use
Position your shoulders comfortably under the pads and place your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform. Release the safety handles and begin the movement by bending your knees and hips to lower yourself into a squat. Descend to a comfortable depth while keeping your back supported, then drive through your feet to return to the starting position, stopping just short of locking your knees before repeating.

Coaching Tips

• Keep your feet flat and maintain even pressure through your whole foot.

• Keep your knees tracking in line with your toes throughout the movement.

• Control the descent and avoid dropping quickly into the bottom position.

• Focus on driving through your legs and squeezing your glutes as you stand.
