RNT ABDUCTION BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT
This is a reactive neuromuscular training exercise that targets the lead leg. Start by elevating the trail leg with a bench or plyo box. Loop a band around the outer aspect of your front knee and anchor it to a stable object like a band anchor or squat rack beside you. Lower the body by bending the front knee and flexing the hip. Be sure to resist the pull of the band by pressing your knee outwards. The knee should track forwards over the middle of your foot. Raise the body up by extending both the hip and knee to a split stance position.
