Relatively speaking, I understand how loading the new pin closer to the pivot/axis is respectively less starting torque than loading the original, but as far as any of those loading spots getting lighter from their starting torque to the ending the squat, I don’t see it. They all increase in moment arm. It works for strive in part because the arc is much smaller, this arc is too big to get past the longest point, at least as far as I can see. Maybe you meant something different ?
Appreciate the input, I know exactly what you are saying. After tweaking it for the second time I realized exactly where the weight horns would need to be to be perfectly strive-esque but I haven't felt the need to do so as I like how it is now and is functionally the same (able to make the weight heavier or lighter depending on what horn I use.) I may do this, however, on the other swing squat I have coming
Nathan, these videos are awesome for gym junkies. Would love to see the mods you made to the pendulum squat. Also, I totally get the desire to play around with these machines to make them exceptional, but wouldn't a simple hack squat achieve what you're looking for (a more quad dominant movement)?
Linear hack squat is great way to stimulate quads. have several of them but the arc of the swing makes it so there is essentially no axial loading of the spine like there is on linear hack.

Nice mods. I always wondered how to improve on the swing squat.
Thanks bro!
Will u buy some newtech stuff and also can u do a video showing small clips of all ur seated rows
This is sick
