Let talk Bulgarians!

A common issue people run into is feeling the lift more in the back leg. Usually in the quad or hip flexor.

Seeing as though we are trying to work the front leg, this is definitely not optimal 😅 But this can be fixed!

During the Burgarian, we DO NOT want to have an upright posture! Instead, hinge forward from the hips over the front leg.
Put as much of your weight on your front leg as you can, the back leg is only there to stabilise you from falling over.

PUSH the ground away from yourself, whilst maintaining a slight hinge over the front leg at all times. Relax the back leg as much as possible..

This will take the pressure off the back leg, and also stop you from stretching the hell out of your hip flexor at the bottom.
Keep in mind, this will make the lift more difficult! As it should be.. Swallow your pride and lighten the weight if you have to 👍

Hope this helps!

Much love,
Jay
