Notes - first time ever trying to squat on this machine. Lots of problems trying to find out just where to place the lockout/safety peg, and whether or not the squat bar should be rotated to sit -under- the press arm handles, or -over- them.
I remember squatting -significantly- more weight when I was in high school, so this is more than a tad humiliating. Must bear in mind that I'm also lifting (now) significantly greater body mass, since I'm 100lbs heavier than I was in high school. Also, this machine really forces you to sort of 'lean back' into the squat, as you have to essentially hold the machine in place by standing on the footplate -- otherwise the machine slides away from you. End result is a narrow stance and the squats seem to really hit the front/top of the quad more than they do the lower back or the glutes.
