bulgarian split squats and single-leg romanian dead lifts kick my ass like no other 

which is why i must do them 😔

I recently started doing bulgarians (sort of), except I don't bother to hike my leg up on the bench behind me. I just keep it on the ground. I understand it's not the same, but I honestly think (from a bodybuilding perspective) it's just as good, if not better, especially from the mental aspect of it.

you're definitely right about stability... that's why I made sure to say "from a bodybuilding" perspective, lol, bc I will gladly sacrifice stability for hypertrophy

but hey, on a different note, I used to have chronic knee issues, and I completely fixed it with the ATG Protocol... you ever heard of it? (Ben Patrick, knees-over-toes training)

if not, I *highly* recommend it

i’d imagine raising the leg activates the stability muscles in the glutes more - or at least i hope so, because that’s what i’m hoping to train 🤞

i get a little knee pain when i train to run longer distances, so trying to get rid of that before it becomes an actual problem
