If Bulgarian split squats aren’t a part of your leg day split, what are you doing? They are great for building muscles in your quads, hamstrings, glutes, and even your calves. These target different areas of your lower body depending on the angle of your upper body as you lower into the squat. 

The only excusable reason to exclude this killer move from your workout is because the setup is just so annoying. It seems impossible to get the perfect angle without hobbling around for a while to get the correct footing and posture. Fear no more because there is a hack to get the perfect setup for Bulgarian split squats every single time.

So, how do you set up for them and get it right on the first try–no hobbling needed? Start by bending the leg of your back foot so that your foot is resting on the bench (or whatever surface you are using). Then, you’re going to bend all the way down so that your back knee is resting on the ground. Once it is on the ground, adjust your front foot so that your leg forms a right angle. Once you have this leg set up, simply stand up and begin your squats with perfect form!

The squat is one of the most important exercises in your workout, it works on your entire body, strengthens your legs and glutes, and can also increase your heart rate. There are so many ways you can squat: back, goblet, front, sumo, jumping, cossack, and Bulgarian split squat. These three squats will work your thighs and glutes the most.

Bulgarian Split Squat

This might remind you of a lunge, but it is actually a squat and is used to show you which leg is weaker. For this squat, you will need a bench and any sort of weight. You can use a dumbbell, kettlebell, or barbell. You will stand in front of the bench, put one foot up on the bench behind you and use the leg standing on the floor to drive the movement. The foot on the bench should not be taking the weight or pushing the motion. You will feel the burn in your thighs and glutes with this exercise.

The Sumo Squat

The sumo squat works on the side of the glutes and the inner thighs. You will want to stand on an elevated platform, either two steps or benches—in a wide stance and take a dumbbell in both hands and go as low as you can—without compensating your knees, holding the dumbbell between your legs. Since the range of motion is a little shorter, you can actually hold a higher weight than you would do with the goblet squat.

Back Barbell Squat

The back squat is the most popular of squats for strengthening the legs, core, and glutes. It can take time to reach a good depth and weight, but with a lot of mobility exercises and persistence you will reap the results with this exercise.

If your lower-body workout is getting dull and you want to try something new and break your routine, it’s time to introduce your body to Bulgarian split squats. This new move will make your glutes work harder and build stronger muscles. Besides that, this exercise is fantastic for building leg strength and balance.

If there are any imbalances between your limbs, this move will help and fix this issue if you do it properly. If you have back pain, this squat is a great alternative to other variations because it lowers pressure on the back.

Buff Body YouTube Channel is teaching you how to do Bulgarian split squat properly in this video. Their tutorial includes all the instructions and it’s always the best to watch and follow.

Coach PJ Nestler YouTube Channel demonstrated the wrong and right way to do it, with all the tips, starting with the right body position so you would train the right muscles.

If you are not able to go to the gym, here is a lovely Heartmybody Fitness YouTube Channel, showing you how to do it at home.
