Barbell Lunge
Bar on the back, step into a lunge and press back to the start without moving the front foot.
How to do it
Setup
Bar on the upper back, feet hip-width, core set.
Steps
- Step forward into a lunge, back knee toward the floor.
- Keep the torso tall under the bar.
- Push off the front foot back to standing.
Common mistakes
Short steps under load: the knee dives; step LONG. Wobbling on the return: slower push-off, core tighter. Loading past balance: the bar amplifies every sway.
Breathing
Inhale stepping in, exhale pushing back.
