45-Degree Incline: The track is set at a 45-degree angle, which allows for a high amount of weight to be moved while reducing the direct vertical compression on the spine compared to a traditional squat.
Adjustable Backrest: The padded seat and backrest are designed to keep the lumbar spine supported. Most commercial models allow you to tilt the backrest to find the most comfortable hip angle.Plate-Loaded: It uses Olympic-sized weight plates (visible on the top carriage and storage pegs). This allows for a much higher weight capacity than selectorized (pin-stack) machines.
