- Unlike traditional pendulum squats, this design allows full hip drive at the top of the movement—promoting enhanced glute and hamstring development
- Foot platform can be tilted via lever to accommodate ankle mobility or vary stance—ideal for deeper squats or targeting specific muscles.
- Foot-activated ROM setup enables quick depth adjustment mid-session
- Unlike hack-style machines, its unique swing and arc prioritize explosive hip extension and vertical drive.

The Adjustable Foot Platform allows athletes to fine-tune their squat stance with a simple lever adjustment, accommodating different levels of ankle mobility. Set it steeper to replicate a traditional squat stance or shift to a less steep position, mimicking a 10-degree heel wedge to reduce ankle dorsiflexion demands. This enables greater depth, improved posture, and enhanced quad activation. Whether overcoming mobility restrictions or refining mechanics, this feature ensures optimal squat positioning for maximum performance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”85219″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Range of Motion Adjustment
The Range of Motion Adjustment gives you the flexibility to increase your squat depth with a simple flip. Designed for convenience, this mechanism can be flipped with your foot, allowing you to adjust your squat range with little effort. Whether you’re looking to maximize depth for greater muscle engagement or tailor your movement to specific training goals, this feature enhances versatility without interrupting your flow.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”85220″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Assisting Band Pegs
The Band Pegs on the Pendulum-X Squat are designed to assist your lift, not add more tension. Strategically placed, these four pegs allow you to attach bands that provide support during the most challenging part of your lift—the bottom of the movement. This unique feature helps athletes move through the full range of motion while maintaining control and improving overall performance by aiding the weaker portion of the lift and enabling heavier lifts with greater confidence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1751919115145{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1751907927953{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1752164574764{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]THE X-FACTOR IN SQUATTING
The Pendulum-X Squat is engineered for total body extension. Traditional pendulum squats keep athletes in constant knee flexion, overloading the joints while limiting posterior chain activation and hip extension—both critical for athletic power.
This movement changes the game by allowing a full, natural drive at the top, unlocking maximal force production for explosive jumps, sprints, and overall strength. It’s not just about squatting deep; it’s about training the way you compete. That’s the X-factor.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1751907815560{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”85221″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1752164635438{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1751919121575{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-color: #e6e6e6 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1751907815560{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”85222″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1752164736318{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1751907927953{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1752164686931{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]NOT JUST NEW. NEVER DONE BEFORE
The Pendulum-X Squat isn’t just another pendulum squat—it’s a breakthrough in lower-body training. Our patent-pending resistance curve adjusts load throughout the lift, making it lighter at the bottom where athletes are weakest and heavier at the top where they generate the most force. This dynamic loading reinforces explosive strength, unlocking full hip extension for next-level athletic performance. When innovation meets intensity, results follow.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1751910643738{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-image: url(https://fitdir.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/strength-plate-loaded-glute-training-lineup-1.webp?id=84755) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1751910410740{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-color: rgba(47,49,47,0.92) !important;*background-color: rgb(47,49,47) !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1751910519485{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1751910483128{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]
