My Favorite Unilateral Lower Body Strength Training Exercise

"Rear-Foot Elevated Split Squats (RFESS)" remain my favorite lower body single-leg exercise. They can be performed in a variety of ways. They improve single leg strength, balance, and power. My colleague Ben Bruno wrote a fantastic article for T-Nation I want to share with you: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/bulgarian_split_squats

Single Leg Exercise
