Barbell Front Rack Lunge
The forward lunge with the bar resting across the front of the shoulders, elbows high as in a front squat.
How to do it
Setup
Bar racked on the front delts, fingertips under it, elbows high; feet hip-width.
Steps
- Step long, back knee toward the floor.
- Hold the elbows high and the torso tall.
- Push back to the start, elbows still high.
Common mistakes
Elbows sagging: the bar rolls toward the fingers and pulls you forward; lift them. Wobbling on the step: slow down and plant the foot before you drop. Front heel lifting: land heel first.
Breathing
Inhale stepping in, exhale pushing back.
