Squatting DOUBLE BODYWEIGHT on one leg [Bulgarian squat]

[J-dub]

Congrats on the lift. Personally though I think assisting lifts should build strength and not test it.

Yes couldn't agree more

I see absolutely ZERO benefit to doing this yet see multiple injury possibilities, do you also do 1 armed barbell curls as well? Don't know who you thought you were trying to impress with this!

There's no sense in doing them with a barbell. They are a great movement with dumbbells especially for people who's knees tend to collapse inwards when they squat being up on one leg forces you to use stabilizing muscles that aren't normally hit during a traditional squat. I like to do them right after a normal squat workout when you are already taxed.

Where I come from we call that a lunge.

It's similar but not a lunge

No way I'd d that but that is a hell of a lift good work. I just wonder where you go with that back leg if you fail? I'd think you would snap a leg or ankle.

Bugger that for a laugh.

Well done though, credit where credit's due.

yikes... would probably be safer (if you must do this, for whatever reason i'm not sure) to perform this inside the rack with the pins set

Or dare I say it.....a smith machine.

When you hit 372.5 without your back foot on the bench I will be impressed.
