This is an all-time great Bulgarian split squat video. Not joking at all. Reminds me of the very first time I tried them and was wondering why my glutes and hams were biting me so hard the next day instead of my quads. BSS' are actually two completely different exercises with similar movements. If you have serious enough back issues, do the leaning BSS instead of RDLs.
@@gmanGman12007Nah I genuinely think shes just got beautiful legs in general. Slender and feminine, yet toned and strong af. Better than the women with 30 inch quads lol
I had the same issue, my physio advised me to do standing fire hydrants with a resistance band beforehand and it fixed it immediately. My glute medius was just not activating when I was doing any leg exercises and the hydrant seems to wake it up
I notice both my knees shake when doing this exercise and have knee pain. When I use the band, just below my knee, it feels great and no shaking. Will I ever be able to do it without the band? Thanks for the suggestion. It really works.
I just found a possible reason for my hip impingement problem, also for my knee pain. What are the consequences of bad execution of this movement on the hip? Thank you very much! Greetings from Medellín, Colombia.
split squats or one leg movements trigger severe pain in the lowest part of of my back, what can i do for a sacrum or piriformis stretch? is that even what’s needed? please help you’re the best physical therapist i’ve ever came across
I wish there was a way to cue that alignment without having to use a band. My setup won’t really allow for that and then the exercise starts to take too long as well
Dude is still out here not crediting the clips he adds to. Please stop and just throw the og creators name in the description. EDIT: I noticed you have started to credit them recently, good stuff.
Does the height level of the kickstand for support solely dictates the amount of weight transferred to the leg being worked? Or is there any other difference of say doing a kickstand of the floor vs bench supported off the floor at X height?
Talking about the first clip: in diagrams like this, i wish there was a bit more emphasis on what actually makes the difference in muscle focus, a forward lean results in a bigger range of motion about the hip whereas upwards posture creates more range of motion about the knee. Enphasizing the upper body position is nice because it shows probably the best cue for allowing the different ranges of motion, but it doesnt give as intuitive an understanding of what youre actually trying to do.
No no no. Its all about where the knee is in the bottom position. When she leaned forward, in the bottom position her knee was above her ankle. When she was upright, her knee ended up passing her toes, thus targeting quads more. Thats all there is to it. If your knees pass your toes when youre in the bottom position you hit the quads more. I apply this to the leg press machine. Move your heels a bit below the plate where your feet go. Just dont go all out and put your usual weight. Work your way up slowly so you dont mess up your knees.
@@renem8130 this is exactly what I'm talking about, you have a good understanding of what to do to target different muscles, but you don't seem to understand exactly why the different positions target those muscles. When the knee goes over the toe, that's a greater angle of flexion in the knee, and therefore a greater range of motion for the quad (whose primary purpose is knee extension) having knee directly over toes limits the flexion at the knee but increases flexion at the hip, which puts the glutes through a fuller range of motion. So you have a great understanding of squat style movements and how to bias quads over glutes, but are you able to take that information and transfer it to a row or a press of some sort?
Isn't that bench a bit high? I've been taught that the back foot doesn't have to be that super high. You can just use a step. But balancing on your toes (shoes off) on the elevated platform is key
Hamstring? Don't you mean Quads? You can't focus on hamstrings, you'll always be using the glutes more, there are way better exercises for hamstrings, like Leg Curls.
Man, doing a bulg split squat regardless is gonna toast your quads, glutes and hamstrings...Just make sure your knee is aligned like this guy said. This is the squat of all squats. All that weight on 1 leg, and then add dumbbells for more weight and you have what is imo the best leg builder.
Does this “stacked alignment” still apply to ladies with wide hips, who when standing straight up, have that natural “inward direction” of the femurs and knees?
No not at all. The resting leg is just there for balance anyway. Having it straight might give you more of a stretch, but it's nothing to think/worry about.

Is it it more or is it not exactly the opposite? If you lean forward you use more of your quads during the B split squat. If you keep your body straight up you use your glute's more.
What is the job of the glutes? To extend the hip. The greater the hip angle, the greater the ROM the glute has to move the hip through. If the body is upright, you cut the ROM in half.

I wonder if this also could be caused from poor arch support.
Mirabai’s quads are insane
I use the same technique as the lady in the beginning!
Does the height level of the kickstand for support solely dictates the amount of weight transferred to the leg being worked? Or is there any other difference of say doing a kickstand of the floor vs bench supported off the floor at X height?
Foot and ankle cabe , use door stopper under arch of foot

Muscles are at their weakest when they're stretched, that's why leaning forward, focus more on glutes
No no no. Its all about where the knee is in the bottom position.

Looking from a different angle, heel, knee, and hip will line up fine. What the proper view angle to evaluate this?
Bro, this is amazing. Who is that chic by the way?
Had the same problem but I had to put the band in opposite side and it worked. Why does no one talk about using the band goin opposite direction??
Was doing these weighted when I heard a nice POP now my right hip sucks how do I undo whatever I did?
Good 👍
talk about snack 😍
Please, I need help with Piriformis syndrome.. what can I do? Please make a video on it!
Isn't that bench a bit high? I've been taught that the back foot doesn't have to be that super high. You can just use a step. But balancing on your toes (shoes off) on the elevated platform is key
Is this similar to the deep problem of clubfoot? What was said about stack and rotation in relation to weight resistance???
You didn't respond to whether leaning forward or backward emphasises glute vs quad. Your other videos say keep torso and lower leg parallel?
Hamstring? Don't you mean Quads?
You can't focus on hamstrings, you'll always be using the glutes more, there are way better exercises for hamstrings, like Leg Curls.
@@MaxIronsThird yes, I meant quad.
@@namwens1 leaning forward focus on glutes, straight up and down focus on quads.
This channel shows 99% of body issues are either hips or shoulders
That's just the type of problems he can easily fix, so he focuses on it.
@@MaxIronsThirdwhen I spread misinformation on the internet
Hips, shoulder and lowerback are 3 most complicated skeletal motoric system. And untreated problem on one of them may create problems on other areas.
imagine the backshots
I always wanted to try one leg squats but my problem is my extternally rotated foot.
How to I stop knee cave? My right knee caves in only when doing 1 legged squats exercises but not regular squats.

What if I have the opposite problem so for example I lack internal rotation on my right side, so when I go down my knee travels outwards not inwards
that's actually not bad
E×ww that's me... but I'm scared of my knee goin out an falling on my face......😢 it happens. 😅
Any tips to figure out if your stack is off balance? Or do you just need someone to watch for you?
it's obvious if you just pay attention to it.
Came for the assets, stayed for the knee alignment advice

Is there any problem if the "resting" leg is not straight?
No not at all. The resting leg is just there for balance anyway. Having it straight might give you more of a stretch, but it's nothing to think/worry about.
I get back pain with this technique
you must be moving back and forth, you're supposed to choose the angle for the back and keep it the whole time.
Clicked on this knowing it was a trap
What about most glute engagement?
what if i’m built funny and my knees are permanently facing each other
I have problem in my right shoulder when i do pushup it make pop and start pain in whole hand
I still can never do this right I feel so awkward and wrong😅
Thank you for your informative videos, but credit the stitched video please. It is unfair to use other creators' videos without crediting them.
👏👏
There's something here for all of us...
Doea this apply to walking lunges too? :o I thought some people purposely walk with their leg closer to mid line to stretch their glute mediums more??
you're actively disengaging it, by go in
