Split Squat with Banded Adduction Video Exercise Guide

The split squat with banded adduction is a variation of the split squat and an exercise used to strengthen the muscles of the leg.

Some people may refer to the split squat as the static lunge as it looks very similar to the lunge, but you keep the rear foot back and engaged during your entire set of repetitions.

The split squat with banded adduction provides an external cue for your glutes to fire during the movement. This can be especially helpful if you notice your glutes are underactive during leg exercises.

The split squat is an excellent exercise for those looking to build single leg strength, and as a lunge variation can be a foundational exercise to include within your workout program. This particular variation can be used as both an accessory exercise and/or a prehab warm up during your leg training days.
