How to do it

  1. 01

    Suspend your straps so the handles are 18-30 inches from the floor.

  2. 02

    Facing away from the setup, place your rear foot into the handle behind you. Keep your head looking forward and your chest up, with your knee slightly bent. This will be your starting position.

  3. 03

    Descend by flexing the knee and hips, lowering yourself to the ground. Keep your weight on the heel of your foot and maintain your posture throughout the exercise.

  4. 04

    At the bottom of the movement, reverse the motion, extending through the hip and knee to return to the starting position.

In the app

Suspended Split Squat appears when you own the kit it needs and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have the kit it needs

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
