Nothing exposes a strength imbalance faster than a Bulgarian split squat. It is the honesty exam of leg day.
Why one side at a time?
- Finds the side that has been quietly doing less
- Builds balance and stability you actually use in life
- Trains your hips and core to work together
- Lets you get strong with lighter loads
Our favourites
- Split squats and rear-foot elevated split squats
- Step-ups (slow on the way down)
- Single-leg Romanian deadlifts
- Single-arm rows and presses for the upper body
It's a big part of our longevity programming and every small group class.
