Summary
Struggling with Bulgarian split squats? The article presents five effective alternatives to enhance leg strength without the balance challenge. The front-foot elevated split squat increases range of motion and stability while targeting the quads and glutes. Barbell front-racked reverse lunges engage the anterior core and reduce knee strain. Trap bar split squats minimize low back stress while allowing for heavier loading. Zercher split squats shift the load forward, emphasizing quads and core. Lastly, the Bulgarian split squat remains a potent unilateral exercise, offering deep hip and knee flexion for comprehensive leg development.
