How to Barbell Lunge

Starting Position

1. Please place the barbell at shoulder height.

2. Grip the barbell wider than shoulder width and rest it on your trapezius.

3. Spread your legs to hip width.

4. Keep your chest up and your back straight.

Proper Form

1. Step one foot forward and lower yourself until the angle of both knees is 90 degrees.

2. Keep your chest open and your back straight as you return to the starting position.

3. Switch legs and perform the same on the opposite side.

4. Proceed one side at a time or alternate between sides.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while going up.

Precautions

2. When bending your knees, please make sure that the knee of the foot you step forward with does not go beyond the foot.

3. Please ensure that your center of gravity does not lean too far forward.
