Description
The pendulum squat was designed to be the most quadriceps dominant form of squat you can perform. We took it to the next level by incorporating an adjustable foot plate, combined with the perfect back pad angle and "arc", to allow full hip and knee flexion to, maximally, overload the quads in their fully stretched position. The long back pad supports the lower back, to allow those with injuries to still perform a full ROM squat. The Citadel Strength pendulum is the most adjustable pendulum on the market, with over 30 positions in the footplate alone to adjust for the height and ankle range of the user.
The reverse band pegs allow the user to smooth out the resistance profile of the exercise, to make every inch of the rep brutal. The self unlocking mechanism, allows the user to, safely and effectively, lock in their upper back using the handles on the side of the machine to increase stability and output from the quads.
The construction of the pendulum includes 4 and 5mm steel, bearings rated to over 2 tons and indexing pins rated to over 2 tons, to deliver a pendulum that can handle any weight your members can use. People from 137cm to 203cm (4 foot 6 to 6 foot 8) can comfortably use our pendulum due to the adjustability.

Product features
30 Way adjustable foot plate
Thirty discrete positions, not a sliding clamp that creeps under load. Repeatable between users and between sessions.
Counter balance arm that is weight loadable.
Takes the dead weight of the carriage out of the first rep, so the loaded weight is the weight the lifter feels.
Auto unlocking mechanism
Unracks on the first press and re-engages at the top. No twisting under load to find a handle.
Reverse and conventional band pegs
Accommodating resistance in either direction, for lifters who train with bands against or with the pendulum.
Your colour, your upholstery.
Every frame is powder coated to order, so the colour is genuinely yours. Match your fit-out, your branding, or a code you send us.
Coated to any RAL code by Interpon, Dulux and Oxytech, with translucent finishes by Eastwood. Tell us the code and we will match it.
Colour previews are AI-generated renders shown on one photograph, and are a guide only, and the finish on a built machine can differ. Ask us for a physical sample before you commit a floor to a colour. Refer to the attached brochure to see the machine colours.
Marine vinyl. Sailmaker's thread.
The upholstery is cut and covered by a trimmer minutes from the workshop, so the vinyl, the thread and the stitch are specified per machine the same way the frame colour is. We use Novatex Aspen, a marine-grade vinyl built for boat decks and commercial floors, stitched with Coats Dabond v138, the UV-treated bonded polyester that holds sails together. Sweat, sunlight and a chlorine wipe-down are the easy part of its working life.
Three stitch finishes. Trimmed to order.
- Double stitch - A pair of rows either side of every seam. This is what is on the machines in our photography.
- Single stitch - One row of stitching sewn along each seam. The diamond reads, the thread does not shout.
- No stitch - A plain panel. No seams, no thread: the quietest of the three, and the easiest to wipe down.
Vinyl options. Novatex aspen. Choose from 28 colours.
