today we’re going to talk about how to train bulgarian split squats from both a muscle building perspective and strengthening or movement optimization view to assist in your lifting goals like the squat now think of this lift like a single leg squat with a kickstand most of your body weight through your front leg the back leg is only for balance if your back leg is too high it can lead to you shifting too far back to keep the emphasis on the front leg you can use a small stack of plates a bar setup within a low rack or a roller set up to a low height to allow for the ideal balanced movement where you can move well keep your core stiffened and end up with your shins and torso aligned like many of you i also used to use a bench or something a similar height to elevate the back foot while this may work well for some with me being a bit vertically challenged i found that it was harder for me to balance load the movement utilize a larger range of motion and also maintain a stable pelvis switching to a rearfoot elevation of 6 to 12 inches and loading on the ball of my foot made it much easier for me to stabilize and not to mention load the rec fem should that be my goal for the movement

  1. The back leg is NOT just for balance. The rear leg is supposed to assist the movement. You stretch/lengthen/strengthen both sides of each leg with the exercise.

    Pistol squats are already a thing

  2. Appreciate it for sharing! I need guidance: My wallet on OKX holds some Tether USDT, and I possess the backup phrase: clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish -tonight involve whip -action-. What’s the best way can I proceed with moving them to Bybit?

  3. Thank you so much for this video! I’m only 5 feet tall and I struggle doing squats with the bench. I am going to try your method and hopefully it’s less awkward! 😁

  4. With one leg 🦵 it was easy doing 10 reps while holding 20 pound dumbbells… But then I switched to the other leg… Holy moly unbalance damnnnn

  5. For how many minutes we should do this in order to see a result, anyone can give advice please?
    I am starting my gym journey and encountered these Bulgarian Split Squats, that people say they are the most efficient in glutes training 🙏
