Bulgarian split squat


Target: Glutes, quads, hamstrings, core

Form tips:

  • Make sure the bench height is not too high for your back foot to rest on – aim for knee height or just below.
  • Keep your butt tucked in and glutes engaged on the rear leg to help open up your hip and retain stability.
  • Your front knee should be soft (not locked) and aligned with your toes.

Modification – Alternating dumbbell step-up:

  • Can't nail the Bulgarian position? Step-ups will target similar muscle groups.
