The static split squat keeps both feet flat in a split stance and moves only up and down, removing the balance demands of stepping so you can focus on the working leg. Drop both knees toward 90 degrees with the front shin upright, then drive through the front heel to stand. Its stability makes it ideal for learning single-leg mechanics and adding load safely.
