@mel.chips.fit: These looked way too good not to try. Rotational Bulgarian split squats take an already challenging exercise and take it to a whole new level. This variation combines 2 of the 7 foundational movement patterns. • Squat. • Rotation. Your quads and glutes are still doing the heavy lifting, but the rotation adds a little more demand on your hips and glutes as you work to control your pelvis through the motion. Then your core and obliques have to work to control the rotation instead of simply keeping your torso still. You’re not just training for strength. You’re also training balance, coordination, stability, and control through multiple planes of motion which makes this functional training. The key is CONTROL. Don’t just twist your upper body. Let the rotation come through your torso while keeping that front foot planted and your knee controlled. I used a lighter weight than I normally would for Bulgarians because the goal here isn’t to load the heck out of it. It’s to control the movement. Drop a 🙌🏻 in the comments if you plan to try it on your next leg day.
