Exercise of the Week: Barbell Bulgarian Split Squat This is a single leg exercise that uses ankle stability, hip stability, and core stability to increase the difficulty. You'll also get more Glute and Hamstring activation and less quads on this exercise vs a regular back squat. Set yourself under the bar, actively pull the bar into your upper back, no arching of the lower back, and then sit back into the hip, driving the rear knee to the ground, aiming to get working leg parallel to ground. Be sure to push through the mid foot/heel of foot, do not excessively forward lean, and again, do not arch the lower back. Repeat on opposite leg. This is also a good exercise for runners who tend to be quad dominant and because of the stability activation on the hip and ankles. I used a foam roller on the bench to make it a little more comfortable on the foot in the back but is something you don't have to use. #WinTheDay #GluteAction #Stability #ChampsByDesign #killerglute
