    Can you do 220-pound Bulgarian split squats for 6 reps? If not, delete the words "Strong Dude" from your business card.

    What a stupid article. Bulgarian split squats are a good exercise and engage the glutes a bit more, but they should NOT be used as the sole method of strengthening the legs. BSS' should be used as an assistance exercise with reps in the 10-15 range to build the supporting musculature, after already having squatted.

    Why 10-15 reps? It seems like this is a number people love to recommend for assistance exercises just because it's the done thing and it sounds like you're just regurgitating what you've read from others 'build the supporting musculature'

    After reading that i feel tricked. I will immediately stop SS and go on to do BSS and biceps curls in the squat rack. All I've ever read on strength training is crap compared to this.

    Well I don't very well see the point of going very heavy on a supplementary movement that is wholly different from the lift you are using it to support so 10-15 allows for a challenge without entirely killing yourself.
