Exercise Profile

Pulley Hip Flexion Knee Up Overview

The pulley hip flexion knee up workout is a targeted exercise that primarily engages the quads.

The pulley’s role in this workout is to provide resistance and allow for controlled movement.

By using the pulley, the quads are isolated and forced to work harder, resulting in increased strength and definition.

While other muscles may be activated to a lesser extent, the focus remains on the quads throughout the exercise.
