Bulgarian Split Squat Setup — Foot Position and Form

Setup checklist

• Start far enough from the rear support that the front foot stays planted.
• Use a torso angle that matches your goal and feels stable.
• Let the front knee travel naturally if it is comfortable; knee travel is not automatically harmful.
• Hold the dumbbells where you can balance and maintain range of motion.

Quick self-test

If you feel jammed at the bottom, lose the front heel, or cannot control the descent, adjust your distance before changing the load.
