Praise for the Split Squat

I’ve got nothing but good things to say about the split squat.

It’s versatile exercise, builds stability and strength, gives you a bit of a stretch, it’s easy to load (or unload) and most everyone can do at least some variation of it.

It looks a lot like the shapes we make while playing sports and closely resembles the shapes required to get up and down from the floor unassisted. In other words, it scales easily and everyone from high level athletes to elderly people training for independence can get something from it.

Along with squats and deadlifts, make sure split squats, and the many variations, are a staple in your training program.
