As an athlete, I've done back & front squats my whole life without paying attention to single leg variations. Now I mostly just do single leg to make up for a decade of neglect lol

Wow! I used to think spilt squats are lunges actually. It’s great to learn new things everyday.

As a runner I have a hallux rigidus in one of my feet so I swiped lounges for the Bulgarian squats…

[itamaravraham]

Good one, would be awesome to see a weekly training schedule/program, including running, HIIT, strength sessions and stretching💪

[darthobsidian]

I just prefer walking lunges. I do RDLs, front squat, calf raises, and leg extensions so I think I’m fine.

[Sam-ivol]

so keeping the back foot on the ground vs elevated doesnt make any difference to the mechanics?

[carinapereira]

Does split squats and lunges target glute medius?
