How do you do your Bulgarian split squats?

A) One dumbbell at a time
B) Both
C) None at all 😅

Jokes aside, I know there has been a big debate lately which type of Bulgarian split squats are best.

It really doesn’t matter.

We’ve always used 2 dumbbells as holding 1 100+lb dumbbell isn’t exactly ideal for an entire set.

However there are some solid benefits to doing it.

Because the load is uneven, your core and hips have to work overtime just to keep you upright. It’s sneaky hard even with lighter weight.

Best recommendation is to try out each one and see what feels best for you. 👌
