Sick of fumbling around trying to set up properly for Split Squats? Try this: First, sit on the bench and extend your leg out. That’s how far our your foot should be. Now, kick your leg out to the side slightly. This will create a more balanced stance so you won’t fall over. Then, lean forward and stand up while placing the TOP of your shoe on the bench. This will allow you a deeper range of motion compared to having your toes on the bench! BOOM! There ya go… try it! Now, do it! Coach Austi
