Pulley Assisted Split Squat

Video coming soon...

The pulley Assisted split squat workout is designed to primarily target the quadriceps.

By utilizing the pulley system, it helps to stabilize and support the body during the exercise.

This allows for a more controlled movement, ensuring maximum engagement of the quads.

While the workout may also activate other muscles, the pulley’s main role is to enhance quad activation.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward.
Place a pulley machine behind you, with the handle attached to your waist level.
Hold the handle with both hands, palms facing down, and step forward with one leg.
Lower your body by bending both knees, keeping your back straight and chest up.
Continue lowering until your front thigh is parallel to the floor, while the back knee is hovering just above the ground.
Push through your front foot and extend your legs to return to the starting position.
Repeat the movement with the opposite leg.

Focus on maintaining a tall and upright posture throughout the pulley Assisted split squat exercise. This will help you engage your quads more effectively and avoid putting unnecessary strain on your lower back. Imagine a string pulling you up from the top of your head, keeping your spine aligned and your chest lifted.
When performing the exercise, make sure to push through your front heel as you rise back up from the split squat position. This will activate your quadriceps muscles and help you develop strength and stability in your legs. Visualize driving your heel into the ground, as if you are pushing away the floor with each repetition.
Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine. This will not only enhance your stability but also help you maintain proper form throughout the exercise. Imagine a corset tightening around your waist, providing support and control as you perform the pulley Assisted split squat.
Control your descent by focusing on a slow and controlled movement. This will maximize the engagement of your quads and prevent any bouncing or jerking motions that could potentially lead to injury. Imagine yourself descending in an elevator, smoothly and steadily, as you lower your body down into the split squat position.
Lastly, don’t forget to breathe! Inhale deeply as you lower yourself into the split squat position, and exhale
