Overview

The device described in this manual is the Pendulum Leg Extension by Rogers Athletic, a piece of weight training equipment designed for performing leg extension exercises.

Function Description

The Pendulum Leg Extension is designed to allow users to perform leg extension exercises with proper technique. The machine utilizes a weight arm system that rotates on precision ball bearings, providing a smooth and controlled range of motion. It is intended for use by one person at a time for safety and optimal performance. The design incorporates features for adjusting the starting position of the exercise, which can be beneficial for rehabilitation (rehab) or specific training (SET training) purposes, allowing trainers to vary the exercise's starting point to target different muscle groups or for progressive overload.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Weight: 310 lbs
  • Height: 74 inches
  • Width: 49 inches (without storage horns)
  • Depth: 55 inches
  • Construction:
    • Constructed of ASTM specified steel.
    • Baked-on powder coat finish.
    • Zinc-plated hardware of Grade 5 or equivalent.
  • Weight Horns: Constructed with a steel insert and urethane sleeve for durability and ease of weight placement.
  • Anchorage: Equipped for floor anchorage, with built-in anchor points for bolting down the machine. Rogers Athletic recommends using a professional contractor for installation and 3/8" grade 5 or better fasteners.
  • Bumpers: Durable urethane bumpers for long life.
  • Actuation Arms: All actuation arms rotate on precision ball bearings.
  • Range of Motion (ROM) Selection: Features Set Extension Technology, enabling selection of 5 different ROM settings.

Usage Features

  • Seat Adjustment: The seat depth is adjustable to accommodate users of different heights. To adjust, the user pushes on the top of the seat back to release wheel locks, then slides the back to the desired depth. Proper alignment of the user's knees with the bearing pivot of the weight arm is crucial.
  • Weight Loading: Users place desired weight plates evenly on both sides of the weight horns for balanced performance.
  • Exercise Execution: Users sit on the seat, grip the side handle bars, and place their shins behind the pad. They then raise their legs straight out in front and lower them down.
  • Safety Stops: The machine includes safety stops to prevent the weight arm from rotating past the full extension of the lower leg, enhancing user safety.
  • Range of Motion Settings: There are 5 Range of Motion settings available. These can be adjusted by lifting the weight arm (without weight) and moving the ROM lever to the desired notch. This feature allows for varying the starting point of the exercise, useful for rehabilitation or to "confuse" an athlete's muscles during training.
  • Safety Labels: The machine includes various safety labels such as "WARNING! To avoid personal injury, do not use this equipment until properly trained," "CAUTION Pinch Point. Keep hands and fingers clear," and "CAUTION Stay clear of equipment when in use."

Maintenance Features

  • Bolt Fastening: Users are instructed to frequently check that all bolts are securely fastened.
  • Paint Touch-up: Touch-up paint can be used to cover any scratches or blemishes.
  • Lubrication: A silicone-based lubricant can be used on moving parts to maintain proper function.
  • Parts Replacement: Any damaged equipment should be replaced with genuine Rogers Athletic parts to ensure safety and functional existence.
  • Product Information Packet: This manual is an integral part of the machine and should be saved for future reference. It contains important safety rules, technical specifications, user instructions, and maintenance procedures.
