SPLIT SQUAT VARIATIONS
Although the squat puts you in the strongest possible position for lifting, few human
movements take place with your feet parallel to each other. Walking, climbing, throwing,
and striking all require a split stance. So even though the split squat works the same
muscles, it works them in a slightly less stable and predictable posture, one that comes
closer to the context in which they’ll be used.
