DRSPLIT SQUAT VARIATIONS 🧠
-
There are a number of ways someone can perform a split squat to bias certain muscles groups or particular ranges of motion at the pelvis, hip and knee.
-
Using the example here of a front foot elevated split squat, the most simple way to either get more quads or glutes is changing the torso position and where we allow the knee to move.
-
For more of a quad emphasis, the torso should stay more upright as we allow the knee to travel further forward over the toes without losing contact with the whole foot and especially the heel. This places more stretch through the quads, allowing them to perform more work.
-
In contrast, when we hinge the torso over, and keep the knee from going over the toes, this places more stretch on the glutes, allowing them to contribute more to the exercise.
-
Try each variation yourself and let me know in the comments what you feel 💪
