The Bulgarian Split Squat is a demanding one leg squatting variation where you rear foot rests on an elevated surface. To increase the challenge simply hold a weight in each hand.
Performance Tips
- Place your rear foot on a stable surface (not too high)
- Hold onto a solid object for balance if needed
- Keep your front heel grounded as you lower
- Keep your knee tracking in line with your toes
- Allow your rear knee to drop down towards the floor
- Keep your front shin upright
- Drive up to the starting position using your front leg
- Hold weights in each hand to increase the challenge
- Keep a strong, neutral spine throughout
- Leaning torso forwards will increase hip recruitment
