#bulgariansplitsquat #JPG
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

This helps me understand why lifting shoes are important.
For easier balance the leg that is rested must form a 45 degree angle and the one on the floor must be straightly aligned with your torso. Thanks.
Best channel on YouTube!
Probably the best tutorial on how to do Bulgarian splits
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
Thank you for the tip! Definitely going to try with a lower setup
Will this work for tall guys? 6ft+
My gym doesn't have a good leg support and I'm stuck with awkward positions trying to do Bulgarians.
That was insane. I just tried it now and I literally couldn’t do it with my twenties. ❤ thanks for the technique
just try this last week, didnt even use weight and i cant even do 1 set😂
Let me try 😌.
My knee left the chat
Appreciate it for sharing! I need guidance: My wallet on OKX holds some Tether USDT, and I possess the backup phrase:
cleanpartysocceradvanceauditcleanevilfinish -tonightinvolvewhip-action-. What’s the best way can I proceed with moving them to Bybit?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! 😁
Some call it Bulgarian split squat. I call it a lunge.
I don’t have a bench and I thought I wouldn’t be able to do this move. This video is great!
This guy has amazing quads
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
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 🙏
Super helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Swole markiplier?
how is it different biomechanically and results-wise from the lunge?
I've only ever seen this using a bench, & while it works for me I just setup a platform just a few inches lower, & it defitely feels better. Thanks.
So for taller people slightly taller back foot?
🔥
What is Ruze if not long-winded-monologues
