Split Squat – Barbell
- Set up a barbell on a squat rack at shoulder height and load it with the desired weight.
- Position yourself under the barbell, placing it comfortably across your upper back. Hold the barbell with both hands just outside shoulder-width.
- Engage your core, step back and away from the rack, and position one foot forward and the other foot back, bending your knees.
- Adjust your position so your back toe is on the ground and your forward knee is slightly bent. This is your starting position.
- Lower your hips by bending both knees until your back knee is just above the ground. Keep your chest lifted and your front knee over your ankle.
- Push through your front heel and extend your legs to return to the starting position.
- Complete the desired number of repetitions and switch to the other side.
