Exercise Description

The barbell rear lunge builds leg power and balance by working your quads and glutes. It's perfect for athletes who need single-leg strength and stability.

How To

1. Stand tall with barbell on your upper back, feet hip-width apart 2. Step your right foot back 2-3 feet, keeping your torso upright 3. Lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the floor for the barbell rear lunge 4. Push through your front heel to return to starting position 5. Complete all reps on one leg before switching sides for the barbell rear lunge

Form Tips

• Keep your front knee over your ankle, never let it cave inward • Your back knee should hover just above the ground in the barbell rear lunge bottom position • Keep your chest up and core tight throughout the entire movement • Step back far enough so your front shin stays vertical during the barbell rear lunge

Common Mistakes

• Stepping back too short, which puts stress on your front knee • Leaning forward too much during the barbell rear lunge instead of staying upright • Pushing off your back foot instead of driving through your front heel in the barbell rear lunge
