Bulgarian Jump Squat
The Bulgarian split squat with a jump: the front leg drives the body off the floor and lands softly into the next rep.
How to do it
Setup
Rear foot on a bench behind, front foot a long step ahead, arms ready to swing.
Steps
- Sink into the split squat.
- Jump straight up off the front foot, arms swinging.
- Land softly on the same foot and sink into the next rep.
Common mistakes
Landing on a locked knee: bend it to soak up the landing. Rear foot sliding off the bench: set the laces firmly on it. Front knee caving on the catch: track it over the toes.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale landing.
