Lunges

[flupke510]

sweet. i am a big rugby prop and am always messing up my knees following the lunges led by our backs. i add a twist to the left and right of my upper body to the split squat.

[thebbk]

This make perfect sense.

[rileysowner]

Odd me, I find reverse lunges more difficult than forward lunges.

[wuzzleone]

Who the hell are the dislikes

[UpTehCooch]

looks easy...

[BJagHalo]

why do split squats when you can do full motion squats? i don't get it.

[TheBoyupstairs]

@BJagHalo Because you shouldnt do the same training all the time for starters. and because they are HARD.

[tettrish]

you have a very clear way of explaining things which makes big difference. This little video gave me all the info I needed for now for lunges. Thumbs up.

[candida741]

love you this is soooo helpful I have the tt bootcamp work outs and v2 this has made a real differance to my confidence as a trainer thank you x

[FatMaro]

wow this is helpful. I recently lost a LOT of weight. 115 lbs over 11 1/2 months. My problem now is how to start toning up because I have never really been "in shape" I am completely ignorant to exercise weather it be technique or repetitions. This guy is very concise.

[bstrong04]

Thank you for posting this on your facebook page! I find lunges and split squats to be the most challenging exercises to master proper form.

[3dancers]

NIce, clear explanations -- thanks.

In the reverse lunge, do you think it helps with balance to put the hands on the front thigh? Or are hands better off on the hips?

[ieatsgoats]

good form nice vid for learning technique

[dhilbert83]

What's better as a squat assist, bulgarian split squats (with a bench) or walking lunges? It seems that split squats with a bench gives a better ROM, but are there other reasons to do walking lunges instead?

[84dholly]

I started doing forward lunges and just started working with my trainer. I had a baby so I am a lil overweight but I felt the forward lunge did a lot. Kind of limping from some pulled muscles but overall it made me feel better. Also, I've had a damaged knee from wacking it on a curb when I was 15 and had no problem doing these.

[donletidiotruinurday]

yeah yeah, this is ok, but....... no need to treat ppl like theyre a bunch of pussies!

[Superman1281]

This guy is full of it. He must treat his clients like a bunch of pussies.

[pratinus]

i was doing some dumbbell lunges yesterday and pulled an upper ab muscle pretty bad on the opposite side of the working leg. Ever heard of that?

[akatsukilover707]

pls let this work on me XD

[Soranzo]

solid information. thanks for the upload!

[TruthAxe]

No one cares if you get irritated, dumbbell.

You need to exercise your mind to become positive, Craig.

No one likes a guy who bitches and moans about his pet peeves.

Better for you to say, "Hey, let's face it. Everyone wants to get into perfect shape, instantly. Yet we know we must start at the beginning. The starting line for leg exercises is the bodyweight split squat, sometimes known as the stationary lunge."

[raffeyg]

Everything but the last paragraph really didn't need to be said. All of the very good instruction in your last paragraph was negated by the preceding comments.

[EchoInRed]

Thanks so much for the upload, good info, solid.

[reverielarke]

Good info. A lot of people doing this stuff wrong and messing up their knees.

[phenix93]

Lunges are the best. They hurt like hell too.

[bushido814]

Actually this was a really good clip. Title should be epic lunges! lol

[aleeds22]

these is a fantastic video! thank you, thank you, thank you. i've been looking for a way to build up to doing lunges that wouldn't put too much stress on my knees to start.

[Kontiovaara]

help the öyt. canadien :D.

[xiaoblacky]

lunges make ur lower ass and thighs pain the next day. :D

but it's good.

[lionezrsik]

does this reduce the amount of fat in the thighs???

[semicroma]

spot reduction doesn´t work

[Markohoppis]

Calorie deficit with low Carb dieting will work.

[GeneralCrassus]

dont these make you faster too??

[jbberry3923]

Good Job

[volatileacid]

super.

[remy5858]

thanks

[dynastyISlife]

I put 135lbs on my shoulders and for some reason I get more burn on the back leg (calf) then the front leg. I must not be using proper form?? Or pushing off on the wrong leg????? I dunno

[dynastyISlife]

no homo but i like this guy...lol he seems like he knows his shit

[zero1991]

i had to do this for PE yesterday :/

[yeahmanyea]

hey i have a question.does it make a difference how deep our knee falls down?

because i read it on marie claire and it's actually the reason why i'm avoiding doing lunges all together.

please help? THANKS :)

[ctulhudawn]

i did em too low and did me hip flexer

[ShtoolShample]

I don't know if this helps but the farther you step away the more the excercise will work your ass muscles. Closer does your thighs and calves a little more.

[blkshprd]

does this exercise do the thigh and calves in both legs as you do the lunge and push back up. Or should it be only working one leg's muscle group for each lunge? thanks. (the trainer mentions that 'which muscle group' is the most common question, but does not answer that question

[sanderbij1]

he it totally right :)

[vipero00]

Wow, context makse all the difference in the world for this move. As an overweight 53 year old (230@5'8) I stopped doing lunges because they felt totally unnatural. Now I can go back and build a foundation for this move. Thank you CB!!!

[haz313]

quote for truth

[gnmonsour]

Thanks for that! It would be great to see more of the context trainers should be working within. It sure would add a lot of pressure on gyms and trainers to upgrade their delivery and follow-up skills.

Great intent!

[zdoshi6969]

very information - the combination of a progresion with reasoning for it is something missing the the vast magority of videos

[hockeygod9911]

QFT

[zdoshi6969]

ok call me a noob if you must - but what does QFT stand for?
