Barbell Split Squat (V2)
Expert Advice
Maintain a vertical torso and ensure your front knee does not go past your toes to prevent undue stress on the knee joint.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand with a barbell across your upper back and step forward with one foot into a staggered stance.
- Lower your body straight down by bending both knees, keeping the front heel on the ground.
- Lower until your back knee nearly touches the ground and your front thigh is parallel to the floor.
- Push back up to the starting position through your front heel.
- Complete the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.
