Your use of Bulgarian Split Squats corresponds closely with my step ups discovery for myself. I choose the step ups as they are much more specific to hiking. I also needed the eccentric loading to mimic hiking (not a good wording but I imagine you understand). My thoughts are the split squats will be better at developing strength but the steps ups are easier to use for endurance development. Rick - just a reminder if you please to send me a copy of your paper. I haven't learned anything yet today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is an article by two peeps that know their stuff on why it may not be that important (and maybe even harmful) for others based on their goals and body structure. My opinion: everyone should go as deep as they comfortably can. https://www.t-nation.com/training/forget-about-squat-depth +2 To get the best development in strenght and hypertrophy you will most likely benefit from full range of motion which atg would be. Halfreps gives half the results. But that's not everyones goal to get the biggest legs/most strenght. So i agree you should go as deep as your comfortable with and your technique allows you to. With a sidenote that increasing your rom and being more flexible is not a bad idea. Here's a great swedish article about it with alot of sources in english: https://www.styrkelabbet.se/hur-djupt-ska-du-ga-i-knaboj/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
