Bulgarian split squat

Rear toes on a bench, front foot far enough that the front shin can stay vertical, dumbbells at the sides.

Bulgarian split squat
  1. 1Lower until the back knee is close to the floor. The front heel stays down.
  2. 2Keep the torso tall. The front knee tracks over the toes.
  3. 3Drive through the front foot to stand. Don't push off the back toes.

Easy to miss: A short stance that dumps the front knee past the toes, or the torso folding forward.

Muscles

Copper on the figure is a prime mover. The softer tone helps.
