Pulley Assisted Overhead Squat Tips

  1. Engage your quads by focusing on pushing through your heels during the entire movement.
  2. Keep your chest up and core tight to maintain proper posture throughout the exercise.
  3. Use the pulley to assist with balance and stability, allowing you to go deeper into the squat.
  4. Ensure that your knees track over your toes to prevent any unnecessary strain on your joints.
  5. Start with a lighter weight on the pulley and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement.
  6. Take your time and perform the exercise with control, avoiding any jerky or sudden movements.
  7. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, inhaling on the way down and exhaling as you come back up.
