Assisted Bulgarian Split Squat

Assisted Bulgarian Split Squat — Stand facing away from a bench or elevated surface and place one foot behind you on it while the other foot stays planted in front. Hold onto a stable object (such as a wall, bar, or support) for balance. Lower your body by bending your front knee until your back knee approaches the ground, keeping your torso upright and core engaged. Push through your front foot to return to standing. Repeat on both legs — this variation makes the movement more accessible while still building strength and stability.
