How to Bulgarian Split Squat | 3 Simple Steps 

Train w me on my app doing my actual weekly program📲 www.myliftfitness.com/training-app Get the best supps ➡️ rysesupps.com | Use my code “Davis” at checkout for 15% off 🙌🏼 ⬇️ NOTE FOR YOU ⬇️ With Bulgarian Split Squats, there are many different little variations/tweaks that people successfully implement (such as changing the angle of the front leg to bias different musculature/take pressure off certain joints) But this right here is how I do a standard Bulgarian Split Squat Also, try experimenting with lower foot elevations on the back leg. It can really help people maintain balance and therefore, increase the effectiveness of the exercise. Often I will utilize an elevation of just 6 to 8 inches or so. Give it a shot ✊🏼 hope this helps

Ok yeah, I have been doing them wrong all this time. Damn, this video is so detailed and useful. Thanks for the informative video.

As a Bulgarian i am proud to see you doing them perfectly.

As a squat , I'm proud that you do me correctly

Thank you for this video. Now I won’t have to worry about falling over anymore while doing these

This is the clearest explaination I've seen on how to do this movement. 👍

Whoever edits this is doing an unbelievable job. Those camera angles, tracking, and cutting are ABSOLUTELY UNREAL!! Keep up the good stuff. Stay natural!! DON'T BE TEMPTED BY ROIDS!!! THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY..YOUR GIVING UP YOUR FUTURE HAPPINESS FOR A LITTLE MORE HAPPINESS TODAY!!

He missed a perfect occasion on a Thanos reference

You have no idea how much I struggled with my leg placement and how much distance I needed to be away from my back leg...I appreciate you. Thanks.

Even tho it takes a lot of time to build up to this guys training rutine, i must admit that his explaining is the part that i love the most. So simple, easy to understand and i can quickly implement it into my rutine

This is the best Bulgarian Split Squat demonstration I've ever seen, been struggling getting them right for years

i usually carry just one dumbell on the side of the leg im doing, with my opposite arm kind of “holding my core”. it sounds stupid but its so much easier for me to balance its actually crazy, for people who cant do both dumbells i suggest one heavy dumbell instead

I followed the instructions and was in the exact same position. I just couldn’t get up and fell 😂😂

I just did these for the first time on Saturday! I’m not going to lie…. This felt like the single most amazing leg workout I’ve ever done. My knees, Achilles, everything feels SO F******* GOOD today. Heck, I felt better the next day. Amazing, I’m keeping these on every leg day. Really hit the top of my quad, and just great rehab too. I’m going to use this form and really dial it in. 💪💪💪

This is probably the most perfect form I've seen someone do a Bulgarian split squat. I guess I don't need a personal trainer anymore. I'll just watch all his videos 🤷‍♂️

The difference if you lean foward you will target more on the glutes if you them with chest up and without leaning foward you will target the quads

I could listen to this man and eugene teo talk about fitness all day.

The science together with superb editing makes your videos impeccable.

This is the best tutorial of Bulgarian splits I have ever seen by far!!! I really struggle with them but this will help me a lot. Thanks Davis

Dude thank u fr I been having so much trouble with these can really feel my ass shaping 💀💀

This is hands down the best instruction video for Bulgarian split squat. Thank you for this.

This is absolutely perfect form

Wow, super detailed explanation

One of the only videos with such an elaborate instruction for getting the perfect form with a Bulgarian split squat.

As a correct, I'm proud that you did it bulgarian.

Instant improvement after watching this ! Quality as always you big beast

As a dumbbell, I'm proud to be watched when I travel in fixed track.

I am a 41 year old man who's wife left because my weight got up to 263 pounds.I'm only 5-8. After 13 months I'm at 165 with 14- 15 inch biceps. You have literally saved my life and it didn't cost me a dime. Thank you . Your videos are amazing, informative and fun to watch. Just wanted to thank you hombre. Honestly , from the bottom of my heart. I never thought I would ever look good without my shirt off. Minus a little loose skin in my belly area I finally do. You are one of the best on RU-vid and that's gospel. Much Respect.

I'm Bulgarian so this isn't an issue. It's hard coded into our DNA, as babies we do bulgarian split squats constantly

Seeing it explained and demonstrated I feel just took the retardation out of my poor form for a much better set and more comfortable mindset while repping sets. Thx for this tip.

The production quality of this shorts video is better than 90% of regular videos on yt holy shit!

This is my favorite set up by far

Davis the type of guy that shows you the simple set of steps to lay perfectly in bed and making you realize you’ve been laying wrong your whole life

After all this angles and motions . I feel like I need a degree in a body building to do this set.

This guy is a gem in the fitness community ❤

Bro is literally perfection

How do i wipe my tears when there are dumbbells my hand?

Does he have his own personal gym ? I never see a soul in there lol

Holy heck, now I can feel the whole leg!

Did it and it made my Bulgarian Split-Squat more effective. My legs feels so heavy lmao

Ayo finally found a video teaching how to do this step by step

this guy is such a legend. Every explanation of his is simple, concise, and effective. Helps me get the job done at the Gym! 🏋️‍♂️

No, that was certainly not the 'simplest' set of steps for how to do a Bulgarian split squat but it was the BEST one I've ever seen! So useful lol, and also love the INTENSITY goin on, RAWR!

MAN… YOU ARE THE BEST EVER… This video is AMAZING. DIRECT AND PRECISE. IT REALLY SHOWS HOW TO REACH THE RIGHT POSITION FOR BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT. BRAVO 👏🏻

This is the most challenging exercise for me

Thank you! I'm doing this one instead of reverse lunges and it's so helpful! I'm a stickler for technique and studying all your videos.

This explanation is awesome. Applied this setup twice this week and it was a major improvement. In the video, you forget to mention the massive stretch when placing the knee on the ground and pushing hips forward. I ended up having to put my toes on the platform rather than the bend of the foot.

The best explanation of this exercise on internet

Thank you Davis, perhaps you could talk to the bodybuilding community about going into proper instruction like you have. It can only benefit new people to fitness and a healthy reminder to all, its not about the weights you lift, it's about proper technique to avoid injuries and want to continue their journey to a better life.

This is the most detailed and accurate tutorial I’ve seen on RU-vid. I’m glad it’s the first vid I see after searching.

You're a really good teacher, man. Well studied, never any wasted words, never any mixed messages. Immediately applicable advice that deals with physical, mental, angular, and structural elements. Loving this channel. P.S. THANK you for never speaking with vocal fry!!!

Not a fan of back squats so this is my primary leg movement. It's worked wonders for my Legs over the years.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the quality of this video. Clear, concise, and the cinematography 👌🏼. The one doing to workout is also on point with his posture

Ty so much I have been doing these wrong the whole time even after 4 years of lifting lol 😂❤

Can’t be explained perfect than this bro. I was keeping my torso straight.. watching you is better than having a PT

I’ve watched so many videos and knew when I saw Davis version it was going to be completely different and everything I didn’t know I needed. Thank you. I’ve actually stopped doing these as I couldn’t connect with it and now I know why.

I've had problems with injuries related to barbell squats and such. So i tend to stick more to dumbbells now. Used this video to correct my form. Thanks a bunch.

I just started this exercise and was having difficulty balancing and couldn't tell if I was doing things correctly. Super helpful!

This exercise should be in everyone’s repertoire.

As someone whose scared you lay everything out so concise and carefully I really appreciate the graphics and how to set yourself up thank you boss!

Watched this because I thought I was doing the squats wrong. David wasn't lying, this really was the perfect advice

Had a “personal trainer” go up to me in the gym one time when I was minding my own business and doing Bulgarians after watching these videos. Mans was telling me to go as far as I could with my stance ☠️

Glad you said hip and shin angle. If your hip and torso are at the same angle the quad and glutes are targeted. If your shin angle is greater than your hip angle your quads are the main target.

Bro the tip where u get into position first and then grab the dumbbells just saved my life bro thank u so much

Impeccable cinematography and editing. Beautiful video

These are the best form videos on the Internet

I’ve been in this game for a LONG time. This is by far the best educational descriptive demonstration of the correct way to perform this exercise! Thank you! 💪🏽💯👍🏽

This dude’s a genius!

As a Bulgarian this made me proud. Perfect execution & great detail. Good job man. Respect

You give the best explanations on YT. You explain the what, the why, and the HOW I think that last component is missed on so many other channels.

The best explanation I've seen. Incredible. I hobble about and just about not fall over. This is brilliant. Thanks!!

As a split, I’m proud you squat me bulgarianly.

best explanation of Bulgarian split squat...EVER...

Best steps I’ve seen for this

The absolute best tutorials always

Also i gotta say holy fuck these are humbling. The balance!!!!! The pump.. Omg.. Humility squats!

Man... After 2 years of gym i thought i knew some things.. but your on a different level. Everything sooo simple and perfect. Professionalism at its best. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍

"how to do" videos done right. Concise and straight to the point.

Simply the best demos around. Thanks DD

My goodness this is not only the best demo, but actually the only serious guide

Litterally watching this in the gym right now. Been doing it wrong by not leaning forward (which cut off the range of motion of my knee). Can actually do these confidently now!

Thank you. I just started doing the Bulgarian couple weeks ago and was hurting until I corrected my form by watching your video

Best fast explanation of Bulgarian!🙏

Never watched this technique so clear ever

Saved me from filming a video for a distance client. This is the best tutorial video on youtube for this exercise

He’s help so much . Got me deadlifting 195lbs and I don’t deadlift

Your videos are just a step or two ahead of the next best guys…the best hands down, thank you

This was very well explained. Years of doing this move and I still can struggle from time to time. Definitely trying this out Monday morning.

Wow….rewatched this four times to really get it down. First time in 16 years of lifting that I actually feel these in the quads. Awesome content!

This exercise with proper NUTRITION! Will give you the full flute look.

I always have had trouble nailing my form for BSS and this was so helpful! Finally can keep my balance and keep it consistent. Thanks!!

My man, no one illustrates better than you, all those edits are insane, you have my utmost respect 🫡 ♥️🔥

I really need this, thanks. I'm still struggling with my form. Love doing this after my hip thrusts...

Incredible demonstration on the correct technique , thank for sharing ❤

Lord, I could barely stop from tipping over! Gotta keep practicing.

Absolutely outstanding video! You explained everything so perfectly in a very concise manner. It’s highly informative and super helpful. Thank you so much for the valuable advice and detailed demonstration! I greatly appreciate it. 🙏

Yes. Thank you for the best quick detailed way on how to fix form

Thank you for this amazing instructional and quick video. I’ve been doing them incorrectly for months.

I m a indian guy .... I have done many exercise and variation of legs but this particular exercise hits me more than any fucking exercise literally this gonna freak the hell out of you .

Thanks I have done it wrong for like the past two weeks so this really helps
