Hi Cat. Great series of videos! I have questions re the lunge to stand up. - Which muscles do you activate: is it 50/50 front and back leg? do you push with the back leg? also I feel the mechanics can be different depending on the angle of the front knee. - Lunge position: shld the back knee be at 90 degrees with the hip fully extended (straight line knee/hip/torso arm) Thanks for your help!
Hi Jan, Thanks for watching! 🙏 Glad the videos are helpful! 1) First question: Great question! During the lunge to stand, I'm focusing more on driving through the front foot. However, the back toes are pushing and helping too. If I had to put a number on it, I would say that the front leg does 60% of the "work" of the lunge to stand, and the back leg does 40% of the work. With your back leg during the lunge to stand, visualize your toes spreading and pushing into the earth. With your front leg, visualize pushing the earth away with your entire surface of your foot (especially the heel). Another helpful tip for the lunge up to stand and the reverse lunge is from one of my coaches and mentors, Jeff Sokol: imagine you are a hydraulic machine during the lunge to stand and the reverse lunge. The movement should be completely controlled and machine-like. 2) Second question: Yes, the back knee should be at around 90° when you're in the lunge position. You want to be "stacked" under the bell, which means the knee, should be under the hip, and the hip should be under the shoulder. Thanks so much! Keep up the strong practice! 💪
