Weighted Plate Overhead Reverse Lunge
Step back into the lunge with a plate locked overhead; the step back keeps the front shin vertical under the load.
How to do it
Setup
Plate locked overhead by its rim, standing tall, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Step back into a long lunge, arms still locked.
- Let the back knee sink toward the floor.
- Push through the front foot and bring the leg back.
Common mistakes
Plate tipping forward as you step: keep it over the crown of the head. Ribs flaring and back arching: brace the abs. Rushing the step back: reach slowly and place the foot.
Breathing
Inhale stepping back, exhale rising.
