Why Bulgarian Split Squats Are Better for Your Butt Than Lunges
Strong glute muscles — made up of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus — aren't just the foundation of an enviable backside. They're vital in daily movements and, if weak, can result in a host of issues including chronic pain and injuries.
Whether you're on a quest to strengthen your glutes to lessen daily aches and pains, boost your butt, enhance athletic performance — or any combination of these — there's an exercise you're probably not doing that you should be. It might even replace regular lunges. It's the Bulgarian split squat.
