How to Perform Pendulum Squat
Step onto the pendulum squat machine platform and position your shoulders under the pads. Place your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform and grip the handles for stability. Release the safety mechanism if required. Lower your body by bending your knees and hips, allowing the machine to follow its natural arc while keeping your chest up and your back neutral. Continue descending until your thighs reach a comfortable depth, then drive through your heels to extend your knees and hips, returning to the starting position.
