- 3. Control the step length on each rep — inconsistency loads unevenly.
- 4. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
Regression:
Half-kneeling holds focusing on pelvic alignment before progressing to moving lunge variations.
Progression:
Progress to a walking lunge then a jumping lunge once bilateral mechanics are solid.
Common Problems:
Pushing off the back toe to assist the return — ensure all drive comes from the front heel.
