Pendulum Squat
Step onto the platform of a pendulum squat machine with your shoulders under the pads and your back against the support. Place your feet shoulder-width on the platform and unlock the machine. Descend by bending your knees and hips as the platform swings down in its arc, going as deep as comfortable, then drive through your feet to extend back up. The pendulum path keeps constant tension on the quads and supports your spine throughout.
