    Bulgarian Split-Squats in a Smith-Machine are brilliant. You still have to brace and balance, but you're not limited by your balance. And the overload is pretty much endless. And you can still vary the foot placements to basically completely transform the exercise in any number of ways.

      The whole point of bulgarian split squats are to make you body balance and build balance and strength in single leg and balance in singke leg and you take away the stability demands whats the point pf workout then stay home and wash dishes at this point while wearing belt and straps and gloves with arm and knee straps

    My favourite ones are reverse lunges. When doing them, I really feel the quads, glutes and hamstrings working. I like to superset them with front lunges and its a total leg blaster.

    Lol, that comment about walking lunges is so true. The walking does both dissipate and distract from the discomfort.

    I do bulgarian split squats with a Kensui weighted vest, so I have my arms free to hold onto a powerrack for balance.

    for Bulgarian Splits: instead of holding a dumbbell in one hand, would holding half the weight in both be good for both working legs and getting some core - keeping balance? I also don't rly have anything I can use to balance at my gym.

    • @FitnessFAQs
      @FitnessFAQs  Год назад +2

      This has less stability because you're not bracing with the upper body. If the goal is "optimising" the movement for hypertrophy, load unilaterally and brace.

    • @perotal

      Depends, what is the goal ? Pistols are bad for hypertrophy because your balance will always give out way before strength

    how do we get massive glute strength/size without getting size on the thighs?
    this sounds weired. But as a sprint athlete i want only glutes without quads and only little hamstrings.
    My top exercises would be all single leg: reverse lunge, RDL, hip bridge, donkey kick.

    • @Eternal-ReTuning
      @Eternal-ReTuning Год назад

      Good hydration and nutrition can minimize that cramp impact.
      Low intensity running for recovery helps the blood flow circulating to accelerate the recovery process the body has build in.
      Sparkling water and food rich in minerals prevented me some severe cramps during badminton training.
      And I wont forget the precious help from the godly keylontic techniques to reactivate energy body flows that are dormant by default in our times.

      I work out at 6am and eat nothing. However, just grab a quick banana if you feel too hungry. I would say it's much more important to eat afterwards. As soon as you wake up, drink a glass of water, try and hydrate before you go.
