Video coming soon...

The pulley side step to dribble to side jump workout is a dynamic exercise that targets the calves and quads.

By utilizing the pulley, this workout adds resistance to the movements, intensifying the engagement of the targeted muscles.

The primary focus of this exercise is to strengthen and tone the calves and quads, enhancing lower body strength and stability.

While the pulley may also engage auxiliary muscles, its main role is to maximize the activation of the calves and quads.

Stand facing the pulley machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Grasp the handle of the pulley with your right hand and bring it to shoulder height.
Take a step to the right with your right foot, keeping your left foot stationary.
Simultaneously, extend your right arm straight out to the side, away from your body.
Pause briefly, then bring your right foot back to the starting position.
At the same time, pull the handle of the pulley back towards your body, bending your elbow.
Repeat the exercise by stepping to the left with your left foot and extending your left arm to the side.

Engage your calves by starting with a light warm-up, such as calf raises or skipping rope, to activate the muscle fibers and prepare them for the pulley side step to dribble to side jump exercise.
Focus on your quads by maintaining a deep squat position throughout the exercise, ensuring that your thighs are parallel to the ground and your knees are aligned with your toes. This will help to maximize the activation of your quadriceps and build strength in this muscle group.
When performing the pulley side step, concentrate on pushing through the balls of your feet and driving your heels into the ground with each step. This will not only engage your calves but also activate your quadriceps, providing a more effective workout for both muscle groups.
During the dribble phase of the exercise, keep your core tight and your back straight, focusing on maintaining a stable and balanced position. This will not only help engage your calves and quads but also improve your overall stability and control during the movement.
For an extra challenge, try incorporating a side jump into the exercise. As you jump to the side, explode off the ground using the power from your calves and quads, aiming for height and distance. This will further engage these muscle groups and enhance your explosive power.
