Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat Breakdown

The rear foot elevated split squat is a GREAT way to work on single leg strength if you execute it correctly. - One of the most common issues I see reported back to me is discomfort in the non-working leg. This can generally be attributed to two things: 1) The elevation for the back leg is too high and causing a strain or too much stretch in the quad/hip flexor area. 2) The front leg isn’t far enough away to give the back leg enough room to work OR it’s TOO far away and causing too much of a strain/stretch. - Other points of performance to keep in mind: 1️⃣ Set up with the working leg far enough away so that when you lower you’re able to keep the knee behind the toe and the shin vertical 2️⃣ Drive the elevated leg’s knee back and towards the surface behind in order to keep the front knee behind the toe 3️⃣ Keep the torso in the same plain as you lower and stand back up - do not lean or collapse forward onto the front leg 4️⃣ Make sure you push off the heel and the toe for the working leg to engage the posterior and anterior part of the leg. - #knightstrongtraining #rollerderby #rollerderbystrong #rollerderbytraining #blockertraining #jammertraining #derbystrong #rollerderbystrengthandconditioning #rollerderbyoffskates #skatingfitness #rollerderbyfitness #athletetraining #sporttraining #skaterathlete #onlineprogramming #remoteprogramming #remotecoach #workoutathome #athomeworkouts
