Marrs Bar / Henny Attachment Pendulum Squat Set Up

DI-Why? This is the question I’ve been answering over and over on this DIY pendulum squat set up. So many people don’t understand the value of variety in the gym. Am I crazy? Should squats be the only exercise we ever do on leg day?

Is it a pendulum squat? czcams.com/users/shortsSMbPblnZH8s

[@KrisLI1408]

That’s called innovation old guy, that’s how human society make progress.

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Bro, exactly.

[@eddierivera6896]

Well said Bro, cause as far as I’m concerned you are your own best personal trainer.

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Heck yeah!

[@thomasbrogan9102]

All you young people need to settle down, shape up & sit tight !

[@dennisbergkamp7795]

Well said, especially the home gym part! I love the extra production you put into your videos. Most underrated channel on youtube

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Wow, I appreciate the kind words!

[@TEMUJINARTS]

Good on you!

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Hey thanks!

[@marcotorre7761]

if you lower the fulcrum (the pin where you attach the hennies) you should have a most pendulum-like resistance profile.

[@Solo-jc8gi]

Looks joint friendly. Nice work

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Thank you!

[@bastipear2864]

Wise words brother!

[@KaizenDIYGym]

It’s seems like common sense to me, but a lot of people on social media aren’t on the same page. Glad you agree!

Honestly dude idk what that guy is complaining about, the pendulum setup looks wicked cool.

[@KaizenDIYGym]

I think it’s pretty sweet. Not everyone loves the idea but it’s probably the best alternative to having a full pendulum squat machine in your home gym.

[@sethfeldpausch4337]

Leg day freaking SUCKS! So anything to keep it interesting is a W!

[@KaizenDIYGym]

I agree with you there

[@chinanumbawun111]

This could be a stupid question.😅
Gravity acts straight down, so while doing a regular squat, you get resistance on the way back up because of gravity acting straight down.
However in your setup, you are pushing the weight in a direction not in line with the direction of gravity.
So my question is does your setup actually work? Does it provide the same stimulus/resistance that an actual machine would?

[@KaizenDIYGym]

No such thing as a stupid question

[@dory_m78]

Rather than henny attachment, can I use rope (or do you need that elasticity)

[@KaizenDIYGym]

I would recommend using tow straps instead of rope. Something like this - amzn.to/3CUH7Yz

[@futbol1972]

Are the pendulum squats hard to set up and do u think the set up put pressure on spine?? I have two buldging disk in lower back and i I really been thinking on buying the squat max md

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Traditional pendulum squat machines out little to no pressure on the spine. Belt squat are another good option for you. Check out this video for DIY pendulum squat ideas: czcams.com/video/tZGAcu1QWsU/video.html
