Rear Lunge with Battling Ropes
Keep alternating rope waves going while stepping back into a reverse lunge and returning, one leg after the other.
How to do it
Setup
Standing facing the anchor, a rope end in each hand, knees soft.
Steps
- Start alternating waves with the arms.
- Step one foot back into a lunge without stopping the waves.
- Drive back up and lunge with the other leg.
Common mistakes
Waves stopping during the lunge: the arms keep going throughout. Back knee slamming the floor: stop just above it. Front knee collapsing inward: keep it over the toes.
Breathing
Rhythmic with the waves; recover in the rests.
