Plate Loaded V-Squat

Name: Plate Loaded V-Squat
Brand: hammer strength

The Hammer Strength V-Squat delivers the strength benefits of a squat with a natural arc of motion that balances support and freedom. Unlike the Pendulum-X Squat, which allows deep hip and knee flexion for explosive range and a dramatic visual impact, this V-Squat machine is slightly more restrained at the knee—making it ideal for lifters who want a hip-dominant squat pattern with stability under load.

And while the Hack Squat locks users into a strict, linear path that limits hip engagement and emphasizes quads, the V-Squat allows the hips to stay active, encouraging a more athletic transfer of power. It’s a strong, grounded movement pattern that builds strength that shows up when it counts—in competition and in life.

It’s All About the Arc

A straight path might look clean on paper—but the body doesn’t move that way under load. The V-Squat’s curved arc is engineered to follow a more natural squatting pattern, reducing excessive shear on the knees and unnecessary compression on the lower back. This arc allows athletes to load up confidently and train harder, while still respecting the mechanics of the body.

Power Your Leg Day with Confidence

There’s a fine line between stability and restriction—and our V-Squat machine walks it perfectly. The platform, back support, and foot angle give athletes the confidence to attack heavy reps, but the machine doesn’t force the user into a rigid, linear track. That subtle freedom allows lifters to press through their own natural mechanics—more like a real squat, less like a machine.
