BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT

Exercise Execution:

  • Set up in a split stance position while grasping dumbbells by your side with a neutral grip.
  • Position the back foot on a bench or circular pad to increase the range of motion.
  • Descend by flexing the front knee and continue until the back knee touches the ground directly beneath the hip.
  • Drive through the front foot and extend the knee as you return to the starting position.
  • If you want to emphasise the quads during the split squat, focus on taking a slightly smaller split stance and drive up through the ball of the foot. Whereas, If you want to emphasise the glutes and hamstrings during the split squat, focus on taking a slightly larger split stance and drive up through the heel of the foot.
