    Well made and Versatile!

    I really wanted a Pendulum squat for my home gym. I didn’t really like the cheap options that were on the market and the higher end one were thousands of dollars. Then I saw the review of the Pandemonium squat on YouTube and it sold me on it. It was still a bit pricey but due to the other capabilities of it, I decided to buy it. I’m not really a “review” guy, but let me tell you, this thing is so well made! For one, it’s built like a tank. This thing is commercial grade and I have no doubts that it will last forever. Secondly, the extra exercises you can do with this are insane! Don’t get me wrong, the pendulum squat is great and it works well, but the Viking press, bent over row and shrugs on this machine are out of this world! There are standalone machines for these movements that aren’t this good. You can do more than those exercises but those are the ones that stood out for me. The viking press handle was NOT added as an afterthought either. It has nice aggressive knurling on it on both the vertical and horizontal areas of the bar as well as the calve raise bar. I was a bit nervous at the calve raise design but there is no way your foot will slip off due to the knurling it has.

    My only complaint with this machine is the spotter arm height for the Viking press. I wish I could have a slightly higher starting point, but this can be easily modified. Absolutely no complaints on the actual pendulum squat part of it. I’m right at 6 feet tall and don’t see how the machine would…

    Johnathan, this is one heck of a review, thank you for taking the time to share it (and for the media too, we appreciate it!).

    Sounds like the Pandemonium Squat lived up to the hype and then some. Built like a tank and pulling double, triple duty with movements like Viking press, rows, shrugs, and more… that is exactly what we had in mind when designing it. Love hearing that the knurling and details didn’t feel like an afterthought either.

    Also really appreciate the honest note on the spotter arm height for the Viking press. Feedback like that helps us keep improving.

    And huge thanks for shouting out our support crew. Glad we could get that logo plate sorted quickly and keep things smooth.

    Welcome to the Bells of Steel family. Sounds like this is just the beginning of your setup.

    Yours in strength,

    The B.o.S. Crew.
The Bells of Steel Pandemonium Squat is a black, multifunctional 3-in-1 machine with padded backrest and angled footplate—ideal for pendulum squats, calf presses, and Viking presses. Perfect for versatile lower body workouts in any home gym.
