Bar Band Split Squat
The split squat with a stick across the upper back and a band from each end to a loop under each foot.
How to do it
Setup
Stick on the upper back, a band loop under each foot, long split stance.
Steps
- Sink straight down, the stick level on the back.
- Keep both loops seated under the arches.
- Stand as the bands stretch tight.
Common mistakes
Stick tilting toward the front leg: keep it level; both bands must pull. Short stance: the front knee dives past the toes; lengthen it. Front knee caving in: track it over the toes.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
