Dumbbell Front Rack Lunge
The forward lunge with two dumbbells resting on the front of the shoulders; the racked bells keep the torso upright.
How to do it
Setup
Dumbbells on the fronts of the shoulders, elbows forward, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Step forward and sink straight down.
- Hold the bells still on the shoulders as you drop.
- Stand back up, bells still racked.
Common mistakes
Elbows dropping: the bells roll forward and the chest follows; elbows up. Torso pitching forward on the step: land tall, then lower. Arching the lower back under the load: ribs down, brace.
Breathing
Inhale stepping in, exhale pushing back.
