Barbell Lateral Lunge
Expert Advice
Keep your torso as upright as possible to prevent unnecessary strain on your lower back and to fully engage the target muscles.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell across your upper back.
- Take a large step to the side with one leg, bending the knee of the lead leg while keeping the other leg straight.
- Lower your body by pushing your hips back and down, keeping the weight on the heel of the bent leg.
- Push off with the bent leg to return to the starting position.
- Repeat on the other side for the desired number of repetitions.
