#Info – Bodyweight Bulgarian Split Squat
The Bodyweight Bulgarian Split Squat is excellent for building leg strength and balance. To avoid common mistakes, ensure your front knee doesn’t extend past your toes and maintain an upright torso. Engage your core for stability. For beginners, use a lower surface for rear foot elevation or hold onto a stable object for balance. Advanced users can add weights or increase reps. Benefits include improved unilateral strength and flexibility. It’s adaptable by adjusting foot positioning for different muscle emphasis. Warm up properly and start with 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps for balanced muscle development.
