Barbell Bulgarian Split Squat for Men

Barbell Bulgarian Split Squat

  1. Hold a bar across your upper back with an overhand grip. Stand in a staggered stance, your left foot in front of your right. Place just the instep of your back foot on a bench.
  2. Slowly lower your body as far as you can. Pause, then push yourself back up to the starting position as quickly as you can. Complete the prescribed number of reps with your left leg forward, then do the same number with your right foot in front of your left.

Make it harder The higher your back foot is elevated, the harder the exercise. In fact, the barbell Bulgarian split squat is one of the most challenging exercises you'll ever do.
