Barbell Walking Lunge

Walking lunges with a bar across the upper back; the bar sits high, so each step has to land balanced under it.

How to do it

Setup

Bar on the upper back, feet hip-width, a long clear path ahead.

Steps

  1. Take a long step and lower until the back knee nears the floor.
  2. Rise over the front foot and step through into the next lunge.
  3. Keep the bar level and the eyes forward on every step.

Common mistakes

Letting the back knee slam down: lower it under control every step. Torso pitching forward under the bar: lighten it and keep the chest up. Turning in a tight space with the bar on: plan the path and stop to turn.

Breathing

Steady with the steps.
