Rear Leg Elevated Split Squat
A more hardcore variation of the walking lunge, this move is accomplished by banking one foot on a bench while performing a split squat with dumbbells. As an added plus, the movement will target stabilizing muscles of the legs more effectively due to the single-leg nature of the lift. The inner thigh and VMO (teardrop quad muscle) can often be neglected or compensated for through bilateral stance lifts like the squat or leg press. It’s easy for compensations to happen if you’ve got imbalances to begin with. With split-stance training, however, it leaves no escape from using proper form and focusing on alignment.
