Barbell Reverse Lunge

How to do it

1. Position a loaded barbell across your upper back in a high bar position, gripping the bar wider than shoulder width.
2. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart and brace your core before starting the movement.
3. Step one foot backward into a lunge, lowering your rear knee toward the floor while keeping the front shin close to vertical.
4. Press through the front heel to drive back up to the standing start position.
5. Exhale as you stand up and inhale as you step back, completing all reps on one side before switching legs.
6. A common fault is letting the front knee cave inward, so keep it tracking in line with the front foot throughout the rep.
