The Split-squat
Weighted strength-development

6m 14s
THE WHAT:
The 'split-squat' is a fundamental strength & loaded-mobility development drill which should NOT be confused for a traditional 'lunge'. The main differences are that the split-squat maintains a fermur-to-femur sagittal line, meaning that stance has the back & front foot on the SAME forward line (in a lunge the feet are hip-width apart).
Whilst the latter is more stable and allows more force production for strength-development, the former (i.e. 'split-squat' stance) add a DESIRABLE instability aspect, contributing more toward mobility development.
