Assisted Bulgarian Split Squat
The Bulgarian split squat with one hand on a rack; the support takes care of balance so the leg can sink deep.
How to do it
Setup
One hand on a rack's upright, rear foot on a bench, front foot a long stride out.
Steps
- Sink straight down to about parallel.
- Let the hand steady you, never pull.
- Drive up through the front foot.
Common mistakes
Hauling on the upright: the hand steadies, the leg lifts. Front foot too near the bench: the knee shoots past the toes; step out. Rear foot pushing off: it only rests on the bench.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
