Ipsilateral or Contralateral loading when performing Bulgarian split squats? How about holding the weight at your chest ("goblet"-style)? Just curious what you all do/prefer.

MichaelWood Start with your bodyweight initially for first few times - if no major issues - then progress to load. Read blog post on this exc today. As mentioned ...light load full range of motion ...for first phase before increasing volume

jayfroman Just added the Bulgarian split squats to my workout today, 3 sets of 10 on each leg, body weight only. Feeling it a little bit after my workout…that’s a good thing!

carlosfromspain Ipsilaterall for me, keeps your center of gravity closer to your midline for better balance, but there is nothing wrong with contralateral either.
