Hacked Pendulum Squat for small home gyms

Items:
Hammock Straps
Safety Strap Shackles (optional)
Swiss Bar
Slant Wedge

Pros
Affordable
Takes very little storage space
Gives a machine-like squat variation
Felt really good on my knees (results are individual)
Once you know where to place foot wedges, easy to set up

Cons
Takes time to set up time (more than a dedicated machine would)
If you have a light rack that is not secure, might have a tipping issue
First time takes a while to figure things out
Have to have slant wedges that don’t slip

Basement Gym ~150sq/ft

A lot of Bells of Steel products (I live in Canada). My philosophy was since I had limited space, try to buy versatile equipment that focuses on strength and power. I also tried to buy from as local companies as was rational. I train to compete in the Highland Games. The gym is about 1.5 years old. I love it!
