Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Split Squat with Low Box.
A bodyweight split squat where the front foot is elevated on a low box, increasing the range of motion and placing greater demand on the quadriceps and glutes compared to a standard split squat. The elevated surface also encourages improved hip flexor length and single-leg stability.
The Split Squat with Low Box is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
