Exercise Profile

Pulley Squat Overview

The pulley squat is a targeted workout that focuses mainly on the quadriceps.

Using a pulley system, the exercise involves pulling the weight upward, engaging the quads throughout the movement.

While other muscles such as the glutes and hamstrings are also involved, the pulley squat primarily targets the quads for maximum effectiveness.
