This is a split squat performed with the back foot elevated on a bench or similar. The bar can be racked either on the back or in the front. A front rack will allow a more upright torso and better depth and bottom position. More quad emphasis can be achieved with the foot placed farther back; more posterior chain emphasis can be achieved by keeping the front foot farther forward (vertical shin).
