]]> 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!

]]> It’s quite common to be able to squat more than you can lift with your arms, which means loading and unloading the bar for your squats might be a harder workout than your actual set! Thankfully there is a great hack, popularized on TikTok, that can help you load or unload plates from the bar with ease. No more struggling and killing your back just to set up your squat rack, thankfully! Here’s how you do it.

Step 1:

With the bar on the floor, place a small 2.5 pound plate on the ground where you want to load the plates. This should be placed right next to the bar.

Step 2:

Roll the bar (with one plate already loaded) onto the small plate. This will easily lift the bar up a couple inches.

Step 3:

Load additional plates onto the bar with ease! By lifting the bar, you no longer have to struggle to move the heavy weight against the friction of the floor. 

Step 4:

Complete your workout. It should feel much better without having to exert so much energy just to set up! 

Step 5:

Once your workout is complete, perform steps 1 and 2 again. This time, use the hack to unload the plates.
