Skelcore, a Miami-based fitness equipment manufacturer, has announced its newest release: the Leverage Squat Machine.
The new equipment is designed to enhance the range of motion for squats and lunges without placing unnecessary stress on the lower back and knees. Skelcore claims the compact machine provides an effective way to target key lower body muscles, while minimising the back and knee strain that is commonly associated with traditional barbell squats.
An adjustable platform accommodates users with ankle mobility issues, and oversized padding ensures greater comfort while using the machine, even at extreme loading.
Four-times Mr Olympia champion and Skelcore product design team member Jeremy Buendia said: "If you have back problems or knee pain, this is the leg machine for you. It puts virtually no stress on the lower back or knees and is versatile enough to perform a single squat or lunge."
Buendia explained that the machine facilitates deeper squats to promote optimal leg growth and long term strength development. The Leverage Squat Machine can also be used for shoulder raises and standing calf raises.
