The Exercise

Reverse Single-Leg Lunges

Sports Performance Benefits

Builds strength and power equally on both sides of the body, improving multi-directional agility and skill execution. It also enhances hip mobility and reduces your chance of injury by eliminating strength imbalances.

How To

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold the bar across the front of your shoulders with an underhand grip, like you’d use in a Front Squat.
• Take an exaggerated step back with your right leg and lower into a Lunge until your front thigh is parallel with the ground.
• Press through your front leg and bring your rear foot forward to drive up out of the Lunge and return to the starting position.
• Complete all reps stepping back with your right leg, then switch sides and step back with your left leg.

Sets/Reps: 3×5 each side

Coaching Points

• Keep your chest up and core braced to support the weight.
• Keep your forward knee tracking behind your toes.
• Push through your heel to drive up out of the Lunge.
