Strong From Home: Split Squat

Another great single leg exercise is the Split Squat.

Similar to a Bulgarian Split Squat, but with the ability to get higher intensity out of it, as it does not have the same balance requirements.

To perform, set feet up in a slightly closer than normal lunge position, pull the back heel off the ground, then drop the knee down to lightly touch the ground, then stand back up. If you want to develop the quad more, lock the front knee more on the way up, if you want to develop the glute more, keep a soft knee on the lockout.

This variation is easy to do higher reps than it's Bulgarian brother, so keep that in mind when establishing your moderately challenging reps and sets, then each week either add pauses, tempos, more reps, or more weight.
