Here' s a clever way to go heavier and stay safer during unilateral leg exercises by Brandon Holder February 6, 2020February 9, 2020 Tags Training
More Muscle More Strength More Athleticism Pushing the limits of single-leg strength is beneficial for almost any lifter. It's key for athletic development since there's more stress on the adductors and stability through the hips compared to double-leg movements.

But while they aren't typically performed with maximum weight (due to balance among other factors) performing them with a little support is an easy solution and will allow for much higher loads with less risk.

Band Supported Split Squat Using a resistance band as the support will prevent you from pulling yourself up too much with the upper body. The band won't provide enough support on a heavy lift; it'll begin to stretch down. You can also monitor the amount of support used by watching the resistance band lower.
