The Power of Ground-Based Training

Ground-based training has a rich history, and Hammer Strength has been at the forefront of this movement since the early 90s. In collaboration with the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, we pioneered ground-based training techniques that have become a staple in athletic weight rooms. This specific kind of training is crucial for athletes because it allows them to perform movements that closely resemble those they encounter in their sports. By training from the ground, athletes can develop the strength, power, and agility needed to excel in their respective disciplines.

Ground-Based Training Is More Than a Set Of Machines, It’s A Preferred Way To Train

Many athletes prefer ground-based training, as it closely mimics sport-specific movements. As a result, athletes are better equipped to develop functional strength, which is essential for executing these movements with power and precision. The Ground Base® Multi-Squat supports this training philosophy and offers a versatile and effective training option for performing a wide range of ground-based exercises. Its compact design and intuitive features make it a valuable addition to any training facility, helping athletes achieve their fitness goals with precision and power.

The Ground Base® Multi-Squat: Power from the Ground Up

When we think about equipment that intuitively packs a punch, we think about the Ground Base® Multi-Squat, so let’s get reacquainted with this versatile and effective training machine.  This technology is designed to push athletes to their limits, maximizing potential without taking up extensive space. Whether they are powering through squats, lunges, or rows, your athletes can enjoy the unmatched strength building and performance enhancing experience this game-changing equipment brings to your high-performance facility.

Optimize Your Facilities

The Ground Base® Multi-Squat is designed to do more than just provide your athletes with the best equipment possible. But did you know… it’s also designed to help you, the Facilities Manager, keep your space running both operationally (with regard to traffic) and financially (optimize your budgets) smooth day-after-day. From a training perspective, its versatility shines through. Your athletes get the benefit of consolidating multiple exercises into one compact design while you get the benefit of freeing up floor space and minimizing costs. Everyone wins on durability too. This equipment’s industrial-grade construction ensures long-life which makes it a smart investment for facilities, like yours, that demand the best. When you optimize on design, you optimize on the efficiency of your facility.

Set them up for Success

We love that we were able to build the Ground Base® Multi-Squat with athletes in mind, providing them with a versatile tool to take their training to the next level. The machine’s got amazing features, such as the new single-leg squat pad for doing single-leg training and two different loading positions for varying the resistance. The Ground Base® Multi-Squat allows anyone who uses it to perform a variety of exercises that target different muscle groups, which also allows for the freeing up of a barbell (and bench) for other athletes who need them. From beginner to elite, this versatile machine is an ideal way to help athletes reach their peak, and to push performance to new heights.

Intuitive Features, Maximum Potential

Our multi-squat is in a league of its own, combining exceptional design with intuitive features that help athletes push through to their limits. The new, ground-breaking single-leg squat pad ensures consistent support and stability, making it easier for athletes to master exercises. The weight rods offer consistent resistance throughout the entire range of motion, ensuring muscles are continuously engaged and challenged. With customizable settings, athletes can fine-tune their workouts to their specific strength needs, driving peak performance and maximizing training outcomes. For Facility Managers like you, this machine offers unmatched durability and versatility, elevating any training space.
