Resistance Band Bulgarian Squat
The Bulgarian split squat with a loop band around the thighs above the knees; the front knee works to stay out over the toes.
How to do it
Setup
Loop band around the thighs above the knees, rear foot on a bench, hands on the hips.
Steps
- Sink straight down, pressing the front knee out.
- Stop with the front thigh about parallel.
- Drive up through the front foot.
Common mistakes
Front knee caving toward the band: push it out over the toes. Band sliding down the shins: set it just above the knees. Rushing the bottom: the band pulls hardest there; control it.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
