How to do it

The barbell side split squat exercise works the hip muscles and helps build a better and stronger core and improves on coordination.

Steps :

1.) Start by placing a barbell on your shoulders and grasp it with a wide grip.

2.) Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, the foot of the leg you will be leaning towards angled out.

3.) Bring your lower body to your foot by bending the hip and knee of your lead leg and keeping your other leg fairly straight.

4.) Return to the starting position and switch legs.

5.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
