Bulgarian split squat
Where it comes from
The exercise was supposedly popularized in the United States by Bulgarian weightlifting coach Angel Spassov (1941–2017) in the late 1980s.
noun Bulgarian split squats
- A variation of the split squat performed by bending one knee while the rear leg is rested on a platform behind the body. People often think of Bulgarian split squats as a quad-crushing, glute and hamstrings-building challenge on leg day, instead of the complete core and lower-body compound exercise it can be used for.
