Front Foot Elevated Split Squat: how to do it and form tips

A split squat with the front foot raised 1–3 inches on a platform, dramatically increasing the range of motion and quad stretch at the bottom compared to a flat split squat.

Form tips

1. Place the front foot on a bumper plate or low step — even 1 inch of elevation changes the stimulus significantly.
2. Keep your torso upright and front knee tracking directly over your toes.
3. The greater stretch may cause soreness in the quad tendon region; build up the elevation gradually.
