If you want to build strong, powerful legs and boost your muscle growth fast, Bulgarian Split Squats are your secret weapon.

It's a single-leg squat, where your back foot is placed on a bench, focusing on quads, glutes and hamstrings like no other leg workout.

Because it improves balance, corrects muscle imbalances, burns more calories, and leads to serious muscle growth in quads and glutes.

It hits your quads, hamstrings, and core, making it a perfect compound movement for strength and muscle growth.

Stand in front of a bench, place your back foot on it, lower yourself slowly while keeping your chest up, and push through the front heel to stand up.

Don't let your knee go past your toes, avoid leaning too far forward, and don't use too heavy weights that sacrifice your form.

For muscle growth, go with 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps per leg using moderate to heavy weights to stimulate maximum muscle growth.

Because you work one leg at a time, your body has to stay steady, which helps you improve balance and make your core stronger.
