Dumbbell One-Arm Lunge
The forward lunge with a single dumbbell held at one shoulder; the uneven load asks the trunk to stay upright.
How to do it
Setup
One dumbbell racked at the shoulder, elbow under it, the other arm free.
Steps
- Lunge forward, the bell pinned to the shoulder.
- Keep the shoulders level as the hips sink.
- Return; switch arms after the set.
Common mistakes
Bell sliding off the shoulder: elbow under it, grip firm. Leaning away from the weight: shoulders level, ribs down. Back knee dropping hard: lower it to a hover.
Breathing
Inhale stepping in, exhale pushing back.
