Exercise Profile

Pulley Lateral Jumps Overview

The pulley lateral jumps workout is designed to primarily target the quadriceps muscles.

By using the pulley, this exercise adds resistance to the lateral jumps, intensifying the workout for the quads.

While the pulley also engages secondary muscles, such as the glutes and hamstrings, its main focus is on the quads.

Pulley Lateral Jumps Tips
