How to Do the Perfect Bulgarian Split Squat (Complete Guide)

Want to master the Bulgarian split squat — the ultimate single-leg strength builder? You're in the right place.

Perfect Bulgarian Split Squat Technique

The Bulgarian split squat is an advanced unilateral exercise that builds single-leg strength, balance, and stability. It targets your quadriceps, glutes, and calves while exposing and correcting imbalances between legs. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures perfect form and optimal muscle activation.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

  1. Setup Position:Stand 2-3 feet in front of a bench or elevated surface, facing away from it
  2. Foot Placement:Place the top of your rear foot on the bench, keeping most weight on your front leg
  3. Descent:Lower your body by bending your front knee, keeping torso upright and weight centered
  4. Drive Up:Push through your front heel to return to starting position, engaging glutes and quads

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Placing too much weight on the rear foot
  • Leaning forward excessively during descent
  • Allowing front knee to cave inward
  • Standing too close or too far from the bench
  • Pushing off with the rear leg instead of the front
