Oh wow! Lunges are my absolute favorite exercise. I lunge around the track as my go-to workout, or do the equivalent on my jogging trail when I can. I recently did them [alternating step backs] on my aerobic step to exaggerate the depth and hip extension component. My legs have nice DOMS around the VMO, outer quad, and a little in the glute [which never gets sore for me].
Really appreciate your vids, I often get a valuable piece of info to improve my training. This one is extremely handy since I lack ankle mobility for a squat, thanks.
I find did find this video useful. Thanks again! I also find Long Lunges a very effective way to increase the intensity. If of course they’re performed with proper technique and hip posture 👍
Good idea on the rear leg width stance. I'll start doing some reverse/step back type of lunges today (it's leg day. I also like doing lunge twists (it's a twist of the upper body done while in the down/lower position of the movement), it makes your feel more of a stretch in the tear drop/quads and an extra second or two at the lower position.
Hi Matt, when you say squat onto the front leg do you mean squat down? Essentially pushing down. As I tend to think of the old weight lifting adage of sitting back.
try these with rear foot elevated in trx straps. It seems to give better range of motion. The trx type will make me sore for days (if I don't do them sort of regularly) but the on-the-floor type don't seem to make me sore.
The biggest difference is where the weight is. A BB on the back can make you more top-heavy and may pull your torso forward if you don't control it. Dumbbells bring your center of gravity lower, but they may have a tendency to swing a bit, again if you don't control them. Great idea for a video I will get to making one up.
I love lunges. Nothing gives me the feeling of near death experience like it. Nothing beats falling down after the last set and having a seizure while you slowly stop shaking and bring yourself back to life from a puddle of sweat 😂
This advice is GOLD
I use lunges to stretch my hip flexors... and I use hunter squats for unilateral leg training. I feel these are more stable and allow me to go deeper.

This was such a helpful video lunges have been so shitty for YEARS.. until now
Fantastic vid
Great timing! Going to try lunges today! Thanks Matt!

Will do thank you sir

Lunges are very intense with heavy weight or in high reps.
Will try implement these, I'm always unstable doing lunges which is why I don't use any weights. In addition I have tendonitis in my elbows
Perfect!
Good common sense.. thank you, very informative & helpful.
High step lunges is so true

Wow, this landed just in time for my leg day! Thanks for the tips, I'll admit that I've been doing them wrong all my life lol
Solid
It is so informative keep doing it,
How to make running not sucks
There may not be a way to redeem running!😬
@@helenjohnson7583 🤣🤣maybe a different pose
land on forefoot/midfoot and not on heel, land foot under center of mass and not much in front of the body. Relaxed but stable upper body
Hi Matt, when you say squat onto the front leg do you mean squat down? Essentially pushing down. As I tend to think of the old weight lifting adage of sitting back.
I like to think of pulling the hips close to the heel in a slight curved motion. So it's sort of neither.
I've heard this before... I cannot lunge nearly as deeply as I can squat. I'll keep squatting thank you.

My lunges look like a half-assed ATG split squat.. I dunno, I'm trying to stretch the back the leg, but perhaps this is better.
Any significant difference between lunges with dumbbells vs barbell?
The biggest difference is where the weight is. A BB on the back can make you more top-heavy and may pull your torso forward if you don't control it. Dumbbells bring your center of gravity lower, but they may have a tendency to swing a bit, again if you don't control them.
