Bodyweight Half Split Squat Hold
The split squat held halfway down, the back knee well off the floor; a shorter lever for the front thigh than the full-depth hold.
How to do it
Setup
Split stance, feet a long step apart, torso upright, hands clasped in front of the chest.
Steps
- Lower halfway, both knees bent to about 45°.
- Hold still there, the weight spread over both feet.
- Stand up, then switch legs.
Common mistakes
Sinking lower as the hold burns: keep the halfway depth you set. Weight drifting onto the back foot: keep most of it over the front heel. Knees locking between holds: stay soft in the stance.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
