Pendulum hip press
Leg machine whose load swings on an arc instead of a vertical track
The platform and weight arm pivot around a fixed point, so the resistance changes as you move: lighter down in the hole, heavier near the top. Nothing sits on the spine, which is the appeal for people chasing quad size without loading the lower back. Pendulum squats work on the same principle with a more upright stance.

A Rogers pendulum hip press is one of three machines he calls the quad bread and butter of his garage gym, alongside the hack squat and the sled leg press. His point was that leg work usually ends up on a rack or a Smith machine, while these three sit apart from that.
