Split squats are often go-to #LowerBodyExercises for a variety of lifters. Whether it's your traditional split squat, rear-foot elevated split squat, or front-foot elevated split squat — this exercise always seems to make it into programs one way or another.
In this video, I talk about the split squat, rear-foot elevated split squat, and front foot elevated split, and discuss differences between each and why I program them for specific adaptations.
It's important to note that as you watch this video to build your own rationale as to why you would employ each of these split squat variations for your goals and needs, as my lists of adaptations could very well differ from why and how you like to use them!
In this split squat variations video, we cover:
0:00 Intro
0:25 Why Do Split Squats?
1:53 Why Do Bulgarian Split Squats?
3:42 Why Do Front Foot Elevated Split Squats?
5:09 Closing Remarks
Again, I can't stress enough, when implementing #SplitSquat variations, we need to focus on the intent of the variation in addition to how that relates to our goals and needs.
I don't want this video to be taken as the "only" ways/reasons to ever use these #SplitSquats, instead, I want this video to help highlight how changing movements slightly can drive specific adaptations.
Do you ever use these split squat variations in your programming? If so, why do you like to use each variation? Drop your thoughts below!
