How To Perform Bulgarian Split Squats
https://youtu.be/02OEkxRVoVM

Bulgarian split squats are an excellent single leg squat exercise, and they're also very challenging. So to do this we're going to use an incline surface, such as a stool, a bench, or a chair.

To get in the right position, we're going to sit down onto our object first. Then we're going to extend out our left leg. So we'll actually do the left leg first and then we'll press up. Now putting all of our weight onto this foot we're going to lean forward and extend this back leg and put that back foot right on top.

We're then going to make a straight line so the back is fully straight in the spine while engaging the core. We're going to breathe in as we go down, bringing that right knee down and exhaling as we go up.

We're looking to feel the engagement in the left quad and the left glute. And once we're finished on one side,  we'll bring the right leg to meet the left leg. We'r then going to take a breath, get centered, get balanced, and put our weight onto the right leg and foot. We're then going to step back, bringing that left leg back behind us.

Again engaging the core, being straight throughout the spine, all the way from the lower spine to the head. We're then going to breathe in as we go down, bringing that left knee down and exhaling as we go up, feeling it in the quads and in the glutes.

When we're finished, we'll bring that left leg back up to meet the right foot. Repeat for reps!

Much love!
Bryan

Used to really enjoy these especially challenging with some added weight, I feel mobility or rather lack thereof makes it way more challenging too, more so than the actual (body) weight. Tight hip flexors I think are the main culprit, I noticed the first set usually being the hardest because of this. Maybe a bit of extra blood flowing to the muscles helps too.

See you're rocking those vivo's, I transitioned to barefoot shoes last summer around July. Really been enjoying my groundies and it even seems like my feet have grown over the last year, although I suspect it's the toes being less curled up because of all the extra space and movement they're getting. Hardly ever wear shoes in and around the house these days.

Recently been experimenting with the knee ability zero program from the kneesovertoesguy/athletic trurth group. Especially the atg split squat stood out for me as a great strength AND mobility builder. It builds from the ground up with plenty of regression options but more so starts at the ankle/lower leg rather than the foot. In my opinion it's a perfect next step after growing accustomed to minimalist shoes, might be interesting for you!

And keep up this great work, hive needs quality content like this :-)
