Pulley Split Squat

Video coming soon...

The pulley split squat is a targeted exercise that primarily engages the quadriceps.

By using a pulley system, the workout adds resistance to the movement, intensifying the quad engagement.

The pulley allows for a controlled and smooth motion, ensuring proper form and reducing strain on other muscles.

While the workout may also activate other muscles, the pulley’s role is to primarily target the quads.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing away from the pulley machine.
Hold the handle of the pulley machine with both hands, palms facing down.
Step forward with one foot, keeping your torso upright and your back straight.
Lower your body by bending your knees, while keeping your front knee aligned with your toes.
Continue lowering until your back knee is just above the ground.
Push through your front heel to return to the starting position, straightening your front leg.
Repeat the movement with the opposite leg.

Position yourself in front of the pulley machine with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward, and the pulley handle at waist height. This exercise is perfect for beginners as it provides stability and control throughout the movement.
With your core engaged and chest lifted, take a step forward with one foot, ensuring your knee is directly above your ankle. The back foot should be positioned on its toes, creating a stable base for the exercise.
As you lower your body into the squat position, focus on pushing through your front heel and engaging your quadriceps. Imagine your muscles working hard to lift the weight, creating tension and building strength in your legs.
Keep your upper body upright and avoid leaning forward or backward. This will help you maintain proper form and prevent unnecessary strain on your knees and lower back. Remember, slow and controlled movements are key to maximizing the benefits of this exercise.
As you rise back up from the squat position, exhale and squeeze your quadriceps at the top. Visualize your muscles growing stronger with each repetition, and embrace the burn as a sign of progress. Consistency is key, so challenge yourself to increase the weight gradually as you become more comfortable with the exercise.
