Pulley Assisted Front Lunge Zercher Grip (alternating)

Video coming soon...

The pulley Assisted front lunge zercher grip workout is designed to primarily engage the Quads.

The pulley’s role is to provide assistance during the exercise, reducing the strain on auxiliary muscles.

By using the pulley, the Quads are targeted more intensely, resulting in increased muscle activation.

This workout is an effective way to strengthen and tone the Quads while minimizing strain on other muscle groups.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing the pulley machine.
Adjust the pulley to a height that allows the handles to be at chest level when you hold them with your arms extended.
Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, palms facing down, and step back to create tension in the cable.
Bring your hands to your chest, crossing your arms in front of you, with the handles in the crook of your elbows.
Step forward with your right foot, lowering your body into a lunge position. Keep your chest up and your back straight.
Push through your right heel to return to the starting position, then repeat the lunge with your left foot.
Continue alternating lunges, stepping forward with one foot at a time, while maintaining tension on the cable throughout the exercise.

Focus on maintaining a strong core throughout the exercise. Engage your abdominal muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine, helping to stabilize your body and protect your lower back.
When performing the pulley assisted front lunge zercher grip exercise, make sure to keep your chest lifted and shoulders back. This will help you maintain proper posture and prevent any unnecessary strain on your upper body.
As you step forward into the lunge, be mindful of your knee position. Aim to keep your knee directly above your ankle, avoiding any inward or outward movement. This will help to protect your knee joint and ensure proper alignment.
To effectively engage your quads, focus on pushing through your front heel as you return to the starting position. This will activate your quadriceps muscles and provide a strong contraction, helping to build strength and stability in your legs.
Remember to breathe throughout the exercise. Inhale as you lower into the lunge and exhale as you push back up. This will not only help you maintain focus and control, but also provide your muscles with the oxygen they need to perform at their best.
