@marzrodie: PENDULUM SQUAT TARGET MUSCLE: Quads SYNERGISTS (SUPPORTING MUSCLES): Hamstrings MECHANICS: Compound Movement FORCE: Push EQUIPEMENT - Pendulum squat Machine. SET-UP - Load the plates on the machine. - Position your back firmly against the back padding and your shoulders under the shoulder pads. - Set your feet on the platform depending on the muscle group you want to emphasize. EXECUTION - Inhale as you squat as low as you can (past parallel). - Exhale as you push through your heels until your reach your starting position. TIPS - Avoid locking your knees for safety reasons. - Go as low as you can whilst keeping your back against the back support and your feet flat on the platform. - Control the descent as you keep the same distance between your knees throughout the set. - This exercise is great for correcting muscle imbalances because you can easily change your foot placement. - Compared to the barbell back squat, you can use heavy weights with the pendulum machine since it takes out the stability that is required from your knees, hips and core.
