When doing the sprinter variation, I always find that I have minor rounding of my back at the very bottom of the lift, much like how you look in the video, and I start to feel lower back pain after a few sets or fatigue. Is there a better way to prevent this, is form an issue?
I have had hip surgery and have to do mobility exercises to open up my hip sockets every time before exercising. I can’t bear heavy weights yet after my surgery. I am hoping one day you make a video on hip mobility exercises for people who struggle to recover after a hard leg routine.
I used to train almost exclusively with barbell/DB squats, deadlifts and some other machines on leg days. Tried switching it up with two of the Jeff's fav exercises this time ; the DB bulgarian squat and the DB reverse lunges. The difference in the burn is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. I've never been able to hit my glutes and quads as well before 🔥
Watched this video, then did 5 sets of BSS with weights. First time doing them with no pain!! And for the first time, felt all of my leg muscles working as I’ve always heard they would in this exercise. Thank you for your service to humanity, Jeff and team. You all are the best!! 🙏🏼🧘♂️💪🏼
Thank you so much for this video! As a beginner for weightlifting at 61 with numerous hip and back problems, it was almost impossible for me to do Bulgarian splits with a pointed toe, without an external support, now I can do it!
@@paladindanse98 I can't answer for sure. I have no major problems on my right leg despite being the weaker one, but I definitely have issues on the left side. I will try turning my foot on the bench like shown on this video. If you have tips for strenghtening stabilising muscles, pls share
you can find a spot where you can hold yourself on to with one hand...then only hold one dumbell in the other.... pref hold the dumbell on that side where youre working the leg... and probably a heavier dumbell because its only 1, not 2.... alöso the balance comes with exercise... just keep doing split squats and your balance will get better.
This is by far, the best Video I’ve seen on how to do al Bulgarian split squat! I’ve seen videos where the instructor says do not lean forward. They didn’t say why they just said you’re not supposed to lean forward. But if you don’t lean forward, you are only working your quads. I’m really glad I saw this video! Now I can put it to the test, because my balance was/is terrible. This guy is the best hands-down. 🙌
The tip placement of foot on the floor was super helpful. I always struggled with how far my foot on the ground should be from the bench. As always, great informative video. Thanks Jeff!
Don't give him credit for that one. There are a ton of videos out there on that same technique. You'll even notice women at the gym doing it, cause they have seen those same videos. Feel like Jeff is now fishing for ways to put out new content by copying other videos, while unnecessarily adding his own unnecessary unique ideas.
@@mohammedriyaz1390 There is almost no new/own ideas in fitness anymore. And definitely not the width aspect you mentioned - it's fundamental knowledge in any sport/exercise utilising lounge
Would love more “how to’s” as well as mentions on the muscles you should be feeling so I can understand the mind muscle connection better. Thank you for all your awesome videos. They are very helpful!
As a trainer myself, I love watching Jeff's videos. Even for an exercise like this one that I more or less know inside and out, Jeff always has a little gem to hone my own technique as well as teaching method for any exercise I've ever seen. Great video!
Have been following jeff for over 6 years now, but his recent videos are the holy grail of quality content. The length of each video is perfectly short and he just spits useful facts during the entire time!
True. he also comes back to exercises he has done so many times, but each times he comes back with them, there is new data/info on it. That is how you stay consistent. Because, really, if you think about it, he pretty much has already thought is everything there is to know and see@@Itsmekvn
I’m leaving yet another comment appreciating how great this advice is. I’m so grateful to learn about rotating the foot! It’s not leg day but I’m going to try this out right now. Also the guy doing explosive reps at the end is a BEAST. Inspirational.
one of my favorite body weight exercises. Thanks for doing a form video on it. I would appreciate some other "simple" exercise videos that everyone does wrong. Wouldn't hurt to do another push up video again.
I used to fear this exercise, just because of how brutal it can be, especially towards my knees. But boy, it is so rewarding. The amount of strength you can gain from it in time is endless. Now it is a staple on my leg day, along with the back squat. One of my favourite exercises now. Always feel more comfortable doing this exercise with my shoes off.
this goes back to what Jeff said in a past video about favorite exercises. An exercise you hate is probably one that you should be doing instead of avoiding, and this has been true for me. I *HATED* bulgarians because of how difficult they were, but now I love them and I'm seeing progress.
I always flop my foot over like it's broken. It helps stabilize me better. Came to make sure i waa doing this movement right, and it's nice to see i am. Freaking love Bulgarian split squats.
Thanks for sharing this info, you're the best fitness channel in the world ! I just started this move 2 weeks ago. I Love how you explain everything just so. I'm a wife/mom/gradma who wants to keep strong muscles and bones. I do this move with no weights, 3 sets of 15, boy do I feel it. First the straight up, then lean forward. Follow the knee and you cant mess up. I'm holding my glutes when I'm done. I truly Love this move. This move will be part of my workout, thanks to you. My hat it off to you, doing this move holding 95 pounds, May God Bless. Keep up the good work. I wish you and your beautiful family the very best.
Been watching this dudes videos for years, and whenever i have a buddy asking about a workout or even want a refresher myself this is always my first choice
You have much more balance and potentially strength over your left foot than your right. This is the exact same as me, so I started doing free weight lunges making sure I match whatever full reps my right leg can do. From there keep building balance and strength. Another tip, I do all of this without shoes to really get the “feel” of both balance and pushing through my whole foot. Good luck, hope it goes well!
Your left foot is likely your natural plant foot. Try to initiate jumping, standing, climbing stairs etc. from your right foot until initiating these actions from either your left or right feels natural.
I had the exact same problem! For me, my right hip internal rotation was bad. I worked with a PT to do a stretch to "mobilize" my right hip socket joint, which helped tremendously.
I’m an absolute beginner to working out and one of my big fears is injuring myself due to set up and position so I really appreciate your information and how quickly you got to the point while also explaining it in a way that I would understand Just did my first set!! Im BEAT omg but I finally actually felt the burn!
Excellent explanation. Another trainer pointed out that especially for athletes, there's many times they will be on one leg, so focusing on one leg is very beneficial for them. It is beneficial for all of us.
I don’t trust everyone on social media showing me how to do these exercises esp with a back that’s flown out of a windshield! But this guy I always look for and I totally trust his direction.
I would love to have a series of doing exercises properly. I'm always learning from you, and you have really helped me to set my weight lifting program up. It's been going great!
How should you rest in the Bulgarian Split Squats? Do both legs and rest or do one leg, rest and do the other leg? When I move on to the second leg, my first leg is very tired and affects my set for the second leg.
For setup, I visualize a line from the edge of the bench to the floor, then place my heels near that visualized line. I take 2 heel/toe steps to get my correct placement. I go down until the knee of my back leg touches the floor. This method seems to account for short and tall people.
This is my go to source to learn how to properly do an exercise. It's great learning from someone who has not just the credentials, but the experience to back it up.
Thank you for this demonstration. I've began trying these split squats as a solution to squatting alone at home without a safety rack. I can't go heavy without the safety rack hence I looked towards lunges and found these. I think this exercise is a fine solution to my problem. I appreciate your contribution! 🤙
Thank you Jeff, been struggling with over working the quads (cyclist) the set up tip and tweek for using the glute is absolute gold. Also found the posture video is very helpful for my back. Owe you a cold one xx
Thank you for this. At almost 65 yrs I did 3 sets of 6 on each leg with 8 lb weights. Look forward to building up to more weight. For once I didn’t struggle with feeling off balance.
Thanks for the tip on the back foot position. I've lost a lot of my balance when I lost my hearing, and doing ANYTHING on one leg is hell. I'll definitely try it today and see how much it helps.
What's the fastest way to safely establish and strengthen a proper mind-muscle connection? Slow, controlled reps with light weights? Controlled reps but as heavy as possible? Going through the different movements that compound in the exercise?
Thanks Jeff for a short, to the point, but very valuable video. The leg position and the depth were always tough for me, but now that I have seen this, will try out the tips to see the benefits.
Bet 80% of the viewers haven't heard of Bulgaria, but at least some of them have checked it out after you said it's your favorite leg exercise. Greetings from Bulgaria :D
you know i read that pinned comment and i thought finally, i can ask literally anything and I'll have it answered! then i realized... i don't really have any questions because i can just look up athlean x - *any word* and he'll have a video about my burning question. so thank you jeff you're a G, there's no question here.
Thanks for this! I’ve tried doing split squats several times over the last few years but always hated them because I couldn’t get a comfortable form. I will definitely try with these mods next time!
Thank u! I have struggled with this movement forever. With osteoarthritis in my knees, this is very taxing there. Also, my foot on the bench would often cramp, so frustrating. I appreciate those and look fwd to trying it❤
Yes yes yes! Thanks for sharing. I do these on leg/glute day. So glad I'm doing them correctly. Personally I prefer to do these on the smith machine. I also use kettlebells. 💪
Your reverse back extension for lower back pain saved me. Thank you. I can do all of my favorite ab exercises now with no back pain. Sit ups, knee pull crunches and decline sit ups. Thank you. Can I come to your gym and train with you? Lol
You can also easily do dropsets, by releasing one of dumbbell when you hit the first failure. Then release the other dumbbell when you hit the second failure l.
I love this exercise and it’s one of the only ones that I can really feel in my glutes, but it is so awkward. Thanks for the video, I feel like I can get my form right, now.
I am currently going through post acl surgery recovery...thanks I have been using this exercise apparently incorrectly...I appreciate you posting the correct form and body position....
Bulgarien squats best exercise ever after 15 years back problems safed me and make me sleeping at night he explain wrong sit on the bench streatch on feet out stand up with the other one and you have the prefect Position for doing it easy and more effect of contraction
Nice, I am going to incorporate this into my sessions all my other leg exercises have improved my bicycling hill climbing totally, thanks for the video
I have a client that has an ankle that simply does not have the mobility to do it this way, We do place the ball of the foot, not the toes on the bench. This gives them more stability and allows them a bit of assistance on the way back up should they need it.
Been subscribed for years now!! Love this channel!! That’s why my newest subscription was to an athlete x membership and I love the info Jeff gives us and how he does his programs!!
Front foot position doesn't influence knee over toes or not, genius (because the torso stays in line with front leg) Wherever you place it, you still squat exactly like squatting with 2 legs, which requires knee over toes

Would you recommend doing the drop set as a rest-pause set? Would it get even more effective reps at a lower weight so less stress on tendons?
When doing the sprinter variation, I always find that I have minor rounding of my back at the very bottom of the lift, much like how you look in the video, and I start to feel lower back pain after a few sets or fatigue. Is there a better way to prevent this, is form an issue?
What if I use a barbell instead of a dumbbell
I have had hip surgery and have to do mobility exercises to open up my hip sockets every time before exercising. I can’t bear heavy weights yet after my surgery. I am hoping one day you make a video on hip mobility exercises for people who struggle to recover after a hard leg routine.

My main problem with this exercice was keeping my balance. Thanks for all your advices through all theses years
Don't look down. Just find one spot in front od you and focus on it.

Try farmers carry with one dumbbell obviously do it for both sides but this should fix ur imbalances pretty quick.
Try not handling a dumbbell first and try getting used around that first?

Thanks Jeff. I am 60 years old and I didn't realise how many exercises I wasn't doing right until I started to follow Jeff and his videos.
Thank you, Jeff! Your explanations and demonstrations on how to properly perform a given exercise are always very helpful.
Been watching this dudes videos for years, and whenever i have a buddy asking about a workout or even want a refresher myself this is always my first choice
Why is it that I can do these all day on my left foot without so much as a wobble but can barely get two reps on my right without falling over?!
You have much more balance and potentially strength over your left foot than your right. This is the exact same as me, so I started doing free weight lunges making sure I match whatever full reps my right leg can do. From there keep building balance and strength.
Another tip, I do all of this without shoes to really get the “feel” of both balance and pushing through my whole foot.

The guy who was jumping as part of this exercise was insane. These squats are tough enough as is!
That 1&1/2 rep variation also looks like some next-level torture

Excellent explanation. Another trainer pointed out that especially for athletes, there's many times they will be on one leg, so focusing on one leg is very beneficial for them. It is beneficial for all of us.
my audio glitched out the second he said "face pull" near the end, and it was absolute comedic perfection
Thanks after trying many others been doing this exercise for months now and it has substantially reduced my knee pain when running.

Thank you for this! Thought I had this exercise pretty nailed, but I see I have some room for improvement.
Thank you so much for that!
This fixed everything I was uncomfortable with with this exercise. Foot placement and dumbbell pickup.
I love this exercise, in all its spicy variations. Plyos are especially fun.
I have no issues having my front foot closer in then recommended in this video. Knees over toes hits the quads a little more.
Front foot position doesn't influence knee over toes or not, genius (because the torso stays in line with front leg)
Wherever you place it, you still squat exactly like squatting with 2 legs, which requires knee over toes

Grow up.
Just happened upon your profile after getting back into the gym and this exercise is on my list today. Very helpful! Subscribed
