Dumbbell Goblet Bulgarian Split Squat
The Bulgarian split squat with one dumbbell held upright against the chest; the load in front helps keep the torso tall.
How to do it
Setup
Dumbbell upright at the chest, hands under its top plate, rear foot on a bench.
Steps
- Sink straight down, elbows pointing at the floor.
- Stop at parallel with the chest still up.
- Drive up through the front foot.
Common mistakes
Dumbbell sagging off the chest: pin it high; the arms tire first. Torso folding over the knee: elbows down, chest up. Front heel peeling up: step the front foot further out.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale driving up.
