Bulgarian Split Squat - How to Target More Quads or More Glutes

When performing Bulgarian split squats, keeping the torso upright and allowing more knee bend (with the knee traveling past the toes) will place greater emphasis on the quadriceps. On the other hand, leaning the torso forward slightly, keeping the shin more vertical to the ground, and hinging back at the hips will shift more of the load to the glutes. By adjusting your posture, you can selectively target different muscle groups.
