Bulgarian Split Squat

Starting position

• Rear foot on a bench, front foot far enough forward.
• Barbell on your upper back, hands a little wider than shoulder width, upper body upright.

Execution

• Lower straight down until the rear knee almost touches the floor.
• Drive up through the front heel.

Common mistakes

• Front knee caving in.
• Step too short: the heel lifts.
• Shifting the weight onto the rear leg.
