Barbell Split Squat (version 2)

A unilateral lower-body strength exercise performed with a barbell placed across the upper back in a split stance. The movement involves lowering the body by bending both knees, with most of the load on the front leg, until the back knee approaches the ground. The athlete then drives through the front heel to return to the starting position, maintaining an upright torso, controlled balance, and stable hip alignment throughout the range of motion.
