Usually ready in 2-4 days
The ONYX Pendulum Squat is a premium plate-loaded strength machine engineered for powerful lower-body development with smooth, joint-aligned squat mechanics. Built for commercial gyms and high-end personal training studios, its reinforced construction maintains exceptional structural stability under heavy loads for precise power delivery throughout the full squat range.
The movement arm follows a trajectory aligned with natural lower-body joint motion for controlled, comfortable squatting performance. A professionally angled backrest provides firm support while minimizing lower-back pressure, and high-resilience shoulder pads reduce discomfort under heavy weight-bearing loads. Dual handle positions allow users to switch grips based on preference for improved control. Safety is enhanced with a prominently placed safety hook and a 12-position adjustable safety stop to accommodate different heights, leg lengths, and range-of-motion needs. An innovative counterbalance system allows users to adjust the machine’s base resistance, making it suitable for both beginner and advanced training. A large 5-position adjustable anti-slip footplate supports multiple stance widths and dorsiflexion angles for improved stability and targeted muscle engagement.
