Pendulum leg press? If that's what this is a lot of people love it. Some say hurts their knees. I think multiple manufacturers make similar now.View attachment 184725Anybody ever encounter this beast?
What machines are you purchasing? I have their smith machine which is great. Would really like to get more but unsure of which pieces I want to invest inI'm in the process of replacing all the garbage pieces in my home gym with Gymleco pieces. Smooth as butter, great resistance profiles and TINY footprints. Can't endorse gymleco enough
Yea the nautilus are bulletproof but the fucking maintenance was messy and I always felt a lil dangerous fingers wise.The pullover machine, I can defiantly feel the chain's links going over the large
cam when going slow . . . one by one. The leg ext., no.
Also, forgot to mention, chains do stretch but not as much as the
aforementioned mentioned cable and belts. Which BTH, have come a long
way from the 70's.
Arthur was most concerned with breakage. He wanted his machines to last
forever, not break down, be damn near maintenance free.
And pillar block bearing would have helped also.
I have seen a lot of old nautilus machines that have been rebuilt and they
are consistently rebuilt using belts and new bearings. Smooth as silk. Some
go so far as to re-design the cam, giving them less resistance in your
strongest position.
Looks more like what would be called a swing squatPendulum leg press? If that's what this is a lot of people love it. Some say hurts their knees. I think multiple manufacturers make similar now.
Seated chest press, hack squat, leg press, adductor, abductor. All excellent and the smoothest machines I've ever usedWhat machines are you purchasing? I have their smith machine which is great. Would really like to get more but unsure of which pieces I want to invest in
Yea, I read that except the manufacturing part.Avenger line is still very hardcore. If memory serves Dorian has bought the rights and will start manufacturing med x again.
Epic piece. Well known and accepted as best in class. If I had room it would be near the top of my list.There is great old stuff, there is great new stuff, but I challenge anyone to find a modern company that has surpassed the old Nautilus chain-driven pullover (plate loaded or selector stack), it just doesn't exist.
Beyond that, I'm not particularly biased toward any specific era.
I’d love to try that specific one, because for me for some reason no machine pullover I’ve ever used comes even close to the connection I get from doing them on cables.There is great old stuff, there is great new stuff, but I challenge anyone to find a modern company that has surpassed the old Nautilus chain-driven pullover (plate loaded or selector stack), it just doesn't exist.

Yeah, it's basically a super old school pendulum squat. The ROM is absolutely ridiculous.Pendulum leg press? If that's what this is a lot of people love it. Some say hurts their knees. I think multiple manufacturers make similar now.
As a piece of history it's pretty cool. I've never seen that one and don't know anyone who has.Yeah, it's basically a super old school pendulum squat. The ROM is absolutely ridiculous.
This one is at the old LVAC in Vegas, on Sahara. It's gotta be at least 30 years old
This. I'm assuming these companies have engineers design these things? Crazy they can't replicate quality equipmentEpic piece. Well known and accepted as best in class. If I had room it would be near the top of my list.
This piece is in Vegas (I believe in one of the Las Vegas Athletic Clubs). John Meadows used one in one of his vids. This was very similar to Randy Coyle's Swing Squat which was the precursor to the Pendulum Squat, which everyone is nuts for at the moment, and in truth, should be in every hardcore gym. I think this is one of two that still exist but don't quote me on this. Very small company, or maybe even one guy who made these as "one-offs". Hope I get to use one in this lifetime.View attachment 184725Anybody ever encounter this beast?

BTW...Gymleco's Hack Squat looks sweet and very similar to some older European style Hacks I've seen in the past. In fact, David's Hack Squat looked very similar. I don't think they still produce it though. David made beautiful stuff. Now, I think they're only making medical rehab equipment and they were purchased by Core Health who owns the Nautilus and Star Trac brand names.
There is great old stuff, there is great new stuff, but I challenge anyone to find a modern company that has surpassed the old Nautilus chain-driven pullover (plate loaded or selector stack), it just doesn't exist.

That’s the one!You mean this?
