]]>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!

]]>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 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.
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.
