Barbell Lunges

How to do it

Stand tall with the bar resting across the upper back and feet hip width apart.
Brace the core and step forward with one leg, lowering the hips until both knees reach about 90 degrees.
Keep the front shin close to vertical and the torso upright throughout the descent, working the quadriceps and hamstrings.
Push through the front heel to drive back to the starting position, bringing the feet back together.
Inhale during the step and descent, exhaling while driving back up.
Alternate legs with control and avoid letting the front knee drift past the toes or cave inward.
