Suspended Split Squat

Setup

1. 01Set the suspension strap cradle to about knee height.
2. 02Face away from the anchor and place the top of one foot in the cradle.
3. 03Hop the front foot forward until the front shin can stay near vertical at depth.
4. 04Square the hips forward and brace before descending.

Execution

1. 01Lower straight down by bending the front knee and hip.
2. 02Let the rear leg drift back slightly in the strap as you descend.
3. 03Stop when the rear knee is just above the floor or the front thigh is parallel.
4. 04Drive through the whole front foot to return to the start.

Checkpoints

• -Front knee tracks over the toes without wobbling inward.
• -Torso stays upright with hips square to the front.
• -Weight stays on the front leg; the strap only supports the rear foot.
• -The strap stays quiet, not swinging between reps.

Common mistakes

• -Pushing off the strap with the rear foot.
• -Standing too close to the anchor so the front knee drifts far forward.
• -Letting the strap swing and losing balance mid-rep.
• -Leaning the torso forward to escape front-leg demand.
