Super Pendulum Squat

The Panatta Super Pendulum Squat is a plate-loaded leg machine on which the squat is performed along a curved, pendulum-like path. The movement effectively loads the quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings while the calves and core stabilisers assist. The guided arc distributes the load evenly and reduces stress on the lower back compared with a free-barbell squat, allowing the legs to be trained safely even with heavy weights. Adjusting foot placement shifts the emphasis between the different muscle groups. The Super Pendulum Squat is well suited to building lower-body strength and muscle size and to practising a controlled, deep squatting technique throughout a full range of motion.
