Barbell Lunges Workout

Barbell Lunges Workout..............

Muscles worked: Quads

Spotter Required: No

Minimum Equipment Required: Standard Barbell

The best equipment to use: Olympic barbell

Warm up: Warm up to perform 1 set of 5-10 repetitions to exercise lunges, without holding a weight.

How often should this exercise: Lunges are a great strain on the quadriceps. They could be included in any leg workout, but you will probably change to your plan with another quad exercise.

When should this exercise: Usually at the end a leg workout, I personally think lunges are a great surface on your leg training, but they can always be done during your leg training.

How to do the exercise: Position the barbell behind your neck so that it rests on your shoulders, like when you squat. Keep looking forward. Your feet should be together. At the beginning of the exercise, step forward and down plunge to the ground. You should continue down until the knee touches on the opposite side almost the ground.

You can find these opposing leg is gone up on the toes to the movement necessary to allow the practice completely. Once here, you hold for a few seconds. This lunge must be checked at any time. If you think you are "forced" down, or unstable, you can be good, too much weight, shall be adjusted accordingly.

Once you complete a repetition, return to the starting position and repeat. Please note that you do not make progress on this exercise. You need the foot lunge. For the ordinary barbell lunge, you should never move further than your lunge out.

Mentality: Do you look forward hold at any time. The posture is important as with all exercises to avoid injury. As mentioned above, please make sure you are in control of the movement. Feel free to use not to lighter weights if you have to. Never sacrifice proper technique.
