Magnetic Bell Overhead Split Squat Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward, and hold the magnetic bell in both hands at chest level.
  2. Take a step forward with your right foot, placing it about two to three feet in front of your left foot.
  3. Lower your body by bending both knees, keeping your back straight and your chest up. Aim to bring your right thigh parallel to the floor.
  4. Pause for a moment, then push through your right foot to return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the movement with your left foot, stepping forward and lowering your body.
  6. Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.
  7. Once you have completed the desired number of repetitions, lower the magnetic bell to your sides and stand tall.

Magnetic Bell Overhead Split Squat Tips

  1. Engage your quads and glutes by starting with a shoulder-width stance, feet firmly planted on the ground, and the magnetic bell resting on your shoulders. This exercise focuses on your lower body, so make sure to keep your core tight and your chest lifted throughout the movement.
  2. As you lower into the split squat, imagine sitting back into an imaginary chair, keeping your weight evenly distributed between both legs. This will help you activate your glutes and quads more effectively. Remember to maintain a slow and controlled descent to fully engage the muscles.
  3. Keep your front knee aligned with your ankle, ensuring it doesn’t extend beyond your toes. This proper alignment will help protect your knees and allow for a deeper squat, targeting your quads even more. Focus on pushing through your front heel as you rise back up to the starting position.
  4. For an added challenge and increased quad and glute activation, try pausing at the bottom of the movement for a brief moment before pushing back up. This isometric hold will intensify the exercise and help build strength in your lower body.
  5. To further engage your quads and glutes, incorporate variations such as pulsing at the bottom of the movement or adding a knee lift at the top. These modifications will challenge your muscles in different ways, promoting growth and development.
