Bottle Weighted Split Squat
The split squat with a filled water bottle hugged upright at the chest, a load found in any home.
How to do it
Setup
Split stance, a filled water bottle held upright against the chest with both arms.
Steps
- Lower the back knee, the bottle tight to the chest.
- Keep the torso upright over the hips.
- Drive up through the front foot.
Common mistakes
Bottle drifting away from the body: hug it in; it pulls the chest forward. Back knee dropping hard: lower under control. Front heel rising: step the front foot further out.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
