Suspended Split Squat

A unilateral lower body exercise using TRX for stability that builds quadriceps strength and addresses leg imbalances.

Instructions

1. Suspend your straps so the handles are 18-30 inches from the floor.
2. Face away from the anchor point and place your rear foot in the foot cradle behind you.
3. Keep your head looking forward, chest up, with your front knee slightly bent in a staggered stance.
4. Lower yourself by flexing the front knee and hip, keeping your weight on the heel of your front foot.
5. Descend until your rear knee is close to the ground while maintaining an upright torso.
6. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position.

Tips

• Keep your front torso upright throughout the movement.
• Adjust the strap length to modify difficulty and your range of motion.
• Position your front foot far enough forward to maintain proper knee alignment.
• Keep your weight balanced with the strap providing assistance for stability.
• Perform equal reps on both sides to develop balanced strength.
