Pendulum Squat
How to
Machine- 1 Shoulders under the pads, feet mid-platform.
- 2 Lower as deep as you can control.
- 3 Drive up through the whole foot.
Tips
- The swinging path keeps the torso upright, so the quads work hard with little load on the back.
- Feet lower on the platform bring the knees further forward for more quads.
- Go deep; the machine supports it.
Common mistakes
- Heels lifting off the platform.
- Short reps with a heavy load.
- Snapping the knees straight at the top.
