The squat apparatus is specially designed to build leg strength, targeting the quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings.

Whether you want to improve your strength, tone your muscles or build muscle mass, this equipment is suitable for all levels, from beginners to advanced users.
Function
The squat is a complete exercise that effectively strengthens the quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings, while improving stability and balance. It also helps develop leg power, which is essential for everyday functional movements. Thanks to the adjustable weights, each user can adapt the workout to his or her needs, guaranteeing steady, safe progress. By training outdoors, you also benefit from better oxygenation, making exercise more motivating and enjoyable. The squat’s robust design guarantees safe, long-lasting use, even in harsh weather conditions, for years of effective training.
Use
Stand under the squat bar, feet shoulder-width apart. Position the bar on your upper back (over the trapezius) and adjust the weights to suit your level. Bend your knees and slowly lower yourself down, keeping your back straight and abs engaged, until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Then push down on your heels to return to the starting position. Inhale on the way down and exhale on the way back up. Make sure you control the movement to avoid injury, and adapt the load as you progress.
