Exercise Profile

Pulley Front Squat Overview

The pulley front squat workout is designed to primarily target the quadriceps, providing an effective lower body exercise.

Using a pulley system, the workout involves placing the barbell in front of the body, engaging the core and maintaining an upright posture.

While the pulley also engages secondary muscles like the glutes and hamstrings, the focus remains on the quads for maximum benefit.
