Mark Ottobre shows how to do a split squat that hits your quads hard. Drive your front knee forward, point your toe out to open the hip, and keep your back leg completely stiff with no bend. Lean your torso back and press your knee against a stick for feedback on form.
You're going to be here. I'm going to get you doing your knee forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward. See where I am? You hold that and come back up. Point your toe out a little bit for me so it's not so neutral. That way we open up the hip. That's good. Push your knee against the stick. There you go. Now lean back for me. Don't touch my hand, don't touch my hand, don't touch my hand. There you go. Come nice and high on that back foot. Stiffer through here, stiffer. Forward, foot forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward. Go again because it's still not exactly what I want. See, my back leg is stiff, right? I'm not bent. What I don't want to see is you start to bend. Ah, right. Don't bend that back leg. Keep the back leg stiff and lean back, lean back, lean back. Good. All right.
