The barbell split squat builds single-leg strength and fixes muscle imbalances. It targets your quads while improving balance and stability.
1. Hold a barbell across your upper back and step one foot back into a lunge position 2. Keep your front foot planted and your back foot on its toes for the entire barbell split squat 3. Lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the ground 4. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position 5. Complete all reps on one leg before switching to the other leg for your barbell split squat set
• Keep 70% of your weight on your front leg during the barbell split squat movement • Your front knee should track over your toes, not cave inward • Keep your torso upright and core tight throughout each barbell split squat rep • Take a big enough step back so your front shin stays vertical at the bottom
• Putting too much weight on your back foot instead of using it just for balance • Leaning forward too much during the barbell split squat, which shifts focus from your quads • Taking too small a step back, causing your front knee to push past your toes
