BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT OR REAR FOOT ELEVATED SPLIT SQUAT?

What's in a name?⁣

This exercise is called the Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat, or to its friends; RFESS.⁣

That is a great descriptive name, it's a split squat and the rear foot is elevated.⁣ Everything seems to be in order.

Yet for some reason its also commonly known as a Bulgarian Split Squat.⁣
⁣
That doesn't tell me anything about how to do the movement.
Was it even invented in Bulgaria? ⁣
How do I set it up?

This can be a source of great confusion for anyone new to the gym setting.
⁣
Exercises should have descriptive, explanatory names that help coaches and athletes navigate their training, understand the set up, the focus and maybe even the intention for a movement. Not take them on a tour of Europe, or the history of strength and conditioning.⁣

As of 2019 I feel like this is improving, where most exercises have an equivalent descriptive name. The exception being the Romanian deadlift or RDL.

Can we please find a new slick descriptive name for this brilliant lower body exercise?
