It's a three dimensional smith machine squat set up with the safety/hack squat pads over the shoulders and hand grabs to hold onto while you go down
I wish i could squat. But the lack of articulation in the shoulders is not enough to be able to actually hold the bar. But that machine looks a little much. but i would try it.I tried that machine. Akward as fuck feeling. The free floating smith machine. I saw zero advantages of using that thing. If your going to squat just fucking squat

I had the opportunity to train on it once - it is a wonderful machine - no knee pain and perfect movement biomechanicsFuck that
The Atlantis Hack Squat with the adjustable backpad feels good though, recently gained access to that and it's sweet.

I agree, we have one at the mega gym in Murray, KY that I go to sometimes just to train legs.I had the opportunity to train on it once - it is a wonderful machine - no knee pain and perfect movement biomechanics
Unfortunately in Poland we can dream of such equipment. Maybe 10 gyms across the country have some single pieces of machines such as Prime, Arsenal, Cybex, Atlantis, etc. most of them use commercial equipment such as Matrix or Technogym.I agree, we have one at the mega gym in Murray, KY that I go to sometimes just to train legs.

Same here. Can't hold the bar. One reason why this machine looks great to meI wish i could squat. But the lack of articulation in the shoulders is not enough to be able to actually hold the bar. But that machine looks a little much. but i would try it.
This could definitely work too, not sure how one would load it up though.
Heh, had to look it up as I was curious too. The wearable part has a hook that attaches it to the stand allowing for loading and then stepping into it.This could definitely work too, not sure how one would load it up though.
