we did this a lot in volleyball to strech out as a regression to a lateral dive or roll. works great because with bad forward form will never allow moving on into the deeper defensive movements.
This video is so helpful! My back was killing me doing these and I knew I was lifting with my back instead of pulling up with my outer leg and glute. Thanks a ton!
@Joel SquierDonnan yuuuuuup, same dude. I saw them in my program, didn’t care about the why’s, just wanted to see it done so I can do it because I’ve got other movements to look up as well.
Thanks guys! Covid I’ve been working out at home and been struggling with this move. Integrating the KB and bracing with the free hand has really improved my movement and what I’m getting out of this exercise. Well done and thanks! ps. Agree with the comment on the locker talk. Distracts from your great coaching.
I think that's why so many ppl over look lunges. It's a good exercise, but you cant get the overload with lunges like you can with squats. But, I always feel sore after lunges.
What would be helpful for me is to know exactly what muscles it's intended to work/ target and what should i be feeling when preforming these correctly. I haven't found any videos say that specifically
Did they mean "abductors" or "adductors"? I'd guess this movement targets the adductors (inner thigh muscles, closing the legs), rather than the abductors (separating the legs). It does require stepping to the side, abduction, but the resistance seems to come mostly on the way back in.
Excellent video guys. It’s great to see big, healthy, fit guys who actually care about form over the amount of weight. Quality over quantity! Love the kettlebell racking variation as well. Thanks!
I thought your breakdown of the lunge was really great and helpful. Please consider that your references to "good girl bad girl" and "good rack" are alienating to a large portion of people who could benefit from your tips. Please consider leaving references like that out of your videos if you want to be more welcoming to women.
Sure, it was a thinly veiled reference to the female anatomy, but isn't biological attraction required for the survival of our species? Don't be so fragile. Have a thick skin. You can't be a strong and independent woman while also emotionally wrapping yourself in a bubble wrap safe space.
@@magda386 Sure thing Mrs. Identity Politics. Women talk about sex as well. Relax. If you're offended, find a different channel that doesn't acknowledge that one of the main reasons people take to fitness is for self confidence and to appeal to people they are attracted to. Don't assume gender either. How do you know if I identity as Male?
glutes mostly because of the hinge, your adductors as well in the opposite leg. overall good movement. you can use a trx to begin with so you can learn
I think I'd need someone to show me in person. I'm too uncoordinated and always bash my wrists and forearms, kettles strike fear into my arthritic heart.
From looking at this video, I find the version of the side lunge exercise where you lift the kettle bell with your hand in a goblet form from the foot that made the lunge to be a very risky and dangerous exercise to do. You could easily get wrist injuries if you don't lift the kettle bell properly and gets away from your center of gravity. For the guy who said in this video who really cares about form, you are really wasting your time mingling with those two meatheads. You could easily lose your balance and your form in lifting the kettle bell from the floor as you come up from the lunge especially when using heavier kettle bells. There are other side lunge exercises with weights that are more safer and give better results than that version. The only benefit that I can find in doing this version of the side lunge exercise is if you want to show off to some bimbo-headed hot girls in the gym how much of a flashy and flamboyant exercise freak you are.
Your concerns can be addressed by following the progressions demonstrated. When loading, start light and only increase resistance once you mastered the previous level.

Stop talking just show me how to do it!
Peter Wisniewski it’s important to listen to what they are explaining. they are describing the why’s and how’s
Peter Wisniewski exactly my thoughts, especially when they are all talking at once!!
😂

Thank you for the detailed and progressive cues! Much appreciated! 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Fitness meets Sports Center. I like the format.
Great tip on hinging at the hips and sitting back into it! Instinctually, I would have been too forward with the knees.
I've never seen these done with heavy weights ..must be very challenging but beneficial.

Thank you! I needed this one so bad! I knew I was doing something wrong, I got it now👍
These are great as a morning mobility exercises.
Is this a good exercise to do before squats sometimes not so much as a workout but a warmup.

wonderfully explained
Great video and explanation, thanks!
Good tips for à gurl never been at the gym like me😁🤗. Thanks guys
Thanks guys ❤

@@magda386 Look at all the people who watched this video and didn't get butt hurt. Perhaps your thin skin is the problem?
great showing of the hip hinge
4:05 yeah well, who doesn't love a good one?
Stoopppp 🤣😭🤣😭
"Yes no machine" LMAO
Good girl, bad girl. Seriously LMFAO
1:10
What muscle does this target?
glutes mostly because of the hinge, your adductors as well in the opposite leg. overall good movement. you can use a trx to begin with so you can learn
If you don't have a kettlebell you can do it with a dumbbell...holding it up to your upper chest, below your chin.
I notice that he doesn't seem to be going to parallel when Lunging. Maybe he is, but need to see it from the side?
How heavy is the kettlebells?
I don't understand how these are so tough for people to do. Maybe it's just easier for those who were in the military or even martial arts.
I think I'd need someone to show me in person. I'm too uncoordinated and always bash my wrists and forearms, kettles strike fear into my arthritic heart.
I never really practiced this moment. I am asian so the movement is so fluid and easy to me. My friend, however, can barely do 80% of the movement.
Great comtent
does this also work the adductors? (more than a forward lunge)
Yes
I stopped doing side lunges. I’m going to add it back.
I need to own that shirt that Adam has on👍🏼😄
is he the one with big chicken shirt on?
imsljr420 I’m so glad you Clarified that it was a chicken.
Big Bird
Thank You!
why is the guy on the left wearing a shirt that says big chicken?
Big cock..a doodle doo.
3:30
Yes No Machine 😆
can you do the actual f..... exercise?
Too many chefs
Good explanation, could do without the unprofessional locker room talk. It takes away from your message.
I could’ve done without any speaking
Dude just do the same exercise
Yes no machine haha
Too much talking
