Biomechanics of the Machine
- The angled track system ensures a natural path of motion that reduces spinal stress compared to free barbell squats.
- Maintains optimal hip and knee alignment to minimize risk of injury.
- The inclined angle (approx. 45°) enhances load distribution across quads, hamstrings, and glutes while reducing shear force on the lower back.
- Controlled range of motion allows safe depth for hypertrophy-focused or strength-based training.
