Bulgarian Split Squat = Gluteal Love

I know the quality of this picture isn't the best... but my client and friend I call Stroupie's form while performing Bulgarian split squats is spot on.  To hit more gluteal muscles you want to kick the forward foot out more in front.  To hit more quad muscles you would have the forward foot back a little closer to the bench; in either position the knee should always track right above the ankle.
When lowering into the eccentric position, I tell my clients to mentally push the elevated knee towards under the bench.  Now, it doesn't even go under the bench at all; however, by having them direct it that way targets more gluteal activation, then not.  And we all Love to do that!!!
