If you want thick and beefy quads, lunges are an amazing exercise to add to your leg day! But because you’re taking an “actual step” forward with weight, the chances of stepping incorrectly and placing strain on your lower back and knees is very high. But once mastered, the dumbbell or barbell lunge will become one of your favorite leg day exercises!
Program Selector Tool! Get The Right Program For You! https://muscularstrength.com/Program-Finder
Great video! I lunge often and have thought of what was right and this confirms what I was already sure is perfect form!
I downloaded that shitty app and you can’t do jack shit with it if you don’t PAY!
I cant believe how weak my abs are I’m suppose to keep my core tight throughout everything i do. I never new this maybe that’s why my back is fucked up. Dee Dee dee
Great content as always.
What shoes would you recommend for leg training? Would you take multiple trainers with you to the gym so you have squat shoes, then change into flat shoes for deadlifts, then something else for lunges/plyometric exercises? Personally I need a bit more ankle support for my lunges and something which will absorb the impact to save my knees. But I do appreciate the lunge. It’s a really good compound movement and I think it’s one of the best exercises for targeting the glutes alongside the quads. What’s not to love?!
I would love to use the app, but it doesn’t work. It won’t let me create an account, it keeps saying “All input fields are required!” Even though, I’ve entered all info in all fields.
Holy crap. That long ling (the bad way) you did look like it hurt. I’m going to try stepping back next time I do these. I love lunges. Thank you, Scott!
always here bro haha! we want more upper body & arms videos thanks a lot scott you’re an hero
“Lunge” is one of those words that when you say it over and over, it loses all meaning.
“… because your form is gah-bage….” That Boston accent just gave my workout a 100% boost.
No hate or disrespect…but wear a shirt big man. It has no purpose to sending out your information.
The rear lunge is much safer than the forward lunge due to hip/skeletal formation. The danger is much greater for females. The U.S. Army figured this out almost 30 years ago. It seems the Army sends hundreds of thousands of young healthy people through basic training every year. Wow, who would have thought!) All do the same exercises for the same number of reps etc, which makes it a wonderful laboratory to compare exercises. The purpose is to condition these trainees without injuring them. It was noticed that females (as the Service gained a higher proportion of women) suffered injury at a much greater rate than male trainees doing the standard lunge. Analysis indicated that different torques existed in the hip sockets for females because women are designed differently to allow child birth. The reverse lunge was looked at and it produces much less torque on the hip socket. The reverse lunge was substituted for the forward lunge in female basic and injury rates were reduced. Now that there is a push to integrate male/female basic, this substitution may no longer be practiced.
The reverse lunge is my go-to. The walking lunge is what I’ll rotate in for variety. That OH DB lunge looks brutal; I’ll try it, thanks.
Lunge got my Hams and Glutes growing like crazy actually not quads
Weird seeing him trash kinobody. I remember they were on a video podcast like five years ago lol
I’ve always done walking lunges. Felt the hardest to me, although i’ve never tried overhead which will probably be harder. And yes backwards is the easiest imo.
definitely needed this one. lunges are the exercise i goof up the most.
Am I the only one who loves leg day? People admire my legs in the gym but they’re not ready to train legs twice a week (Monday and Friday). Train legs guys, A balanced body looks far better than a well developed upper body hanging on weak and small legs.
My knee does not point in the same direction as my feet. Makes me confused. My knee points forward but the foot points slightly to the right. So I am not sure which should be aimed forward. I am focusing on the knee forward but that means th foot can’t be angled forward.
I stop doing lunges after getting hurt everytime I did them. No matter if I did “proper” form or small strides I would still get injured.. just wondering if there’s other reasons for me getting injured
WALKING LUNGES WITH A 50 LB BARBELL IS THE BETTER OPTION, DID THEM TODAY
LUNGE WITH LETTUCE, MAYO AND PICKLE ON THE SIDE PLEASE!!!!!!! #HERMINATOR 2020
I hate doing reverse lunges but they are an awesome quad and gluten builder
I better follow this advice, because I don’t want my form to be GAHbage.
This exercise is really Kick-Ass.
I mean that literally I tried it yesterday 3 sets of 5 each leg. My ass is killing me
+ScottHermanFitness what is your take on CoolScupting to get staaaaaaaahted? I’ve followed a good diet and workout plan till now but I don’t see results:(
Those are wrestling shoes, right? Thinking about using them on squats
Watching this vid made me remember I haven’t done overhead squats for a while.
I’ve never saw overhead lunges before (The thing that made me think of overhead squats obv) but will try them out since my core needs more work too.
Your app doesn’t seem to be working. Signing up in particular.
What’s everyone’s reason for weight lifting? I’m not vain and want muscles I’m struggling to find reasons to go..Help a brother here
I couldn’t sign up to your mobile app. Keep getting error message, same thing if I try logging in with Facebook.
Let me know when u fix it:)
I love your channel so much but I especially love your follow along workouts I use them ALL the time and I’m begging pleaseeee make more they’re so helpful and I think everyone else also wants you to make more
Hello Scott this is my first time actually commenting in a video of yours but I’ve been following you for maybe 5 or more years now but this is probably irrelevant but I have two questions.
1. What do you think of the encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding by Arnold Schwarzenegger I ask this cuz I’m doing the routines it says and it’s been helping but I am just curious about your thought
2. What are your thoughts about the joe weider tapes
Keep up the great work you’re a little shinning light that helps people that need help in fitness in the truth and honest way and there’s literally a lot of gaaabage out there so I’m glad you keep true to what you say I’m a fan take care ✌
Hey man, I totally love all your content and information that you provide to us all. I had a doubt today after working out my legs that should I do lunges at the beginning or at the end of the workout? My trainer made me do walking lunges in the beginning and as a result I wasn’t able to lift as heavy as I normally do on a leg day. I personally thought that doing half decent on all the other excercises was not worth it i guess. It would be a great help, please look into this Scott.
This guy speaks like a dick typical american loud and thinks he’s the bollocks
FUCK I stubbed my toe:( gonna have to skip legs again today ♂️
This reminds me, where do regular squats fit in a push pull leg program? Is it on leg day or push day? Or even pull day cuz it works the back
Nice video, but the lunge and twist seems pretty useless to me.
Reverse lunges in a power rack with a safety squat bar is the best imo.
If you hold the rack with your hands, you can use more weight, but you will forfeit the stability gains.
omg that dig at kinobody. oof.
hes one of the most fakest people out there only looking out for himself.
I just tune into every Scott Herman vid to hear the words GAAAAHHHBAGE and STAAAAAAHTED
Appreciate your efforts throw the years. Stay humble and be yourself.
Staaaahhdet! Does that mean started? funny, but great video’s
Every time I hear baaaaahbell I think of a sheep with a bell around its neck
From what I’ve read, there’s nothing wrong with the knees travelling past the toes
Great content please continue the dumbest mistakes series..
Lunges are targeting more quads than glutes and hams??
Thanks for the tips and advise ….trust me, I needed this
Wow I didn’t know that the 1st one was a mistake…
I mean yeah the toes and knees should always be in a straight line,but the hip shift,everyone in my gym does that,even my hip shifts sometimes:P
2:43 if Scott was a character in street fighter, this would be his countdown animation.
3! 2! 1! FIGHT!
idk Scott, lunges seem to hurt my knees way more than squats do. I can squat for days but one or two lunges and I’m second guessing myself.
edit: nvm I saw the full video, problem solved:D
Hey Scott, great tips and have been making a couple of these mistakes so will correct them. One thing, on the twisting lunges is it important to only twist to one side? Or could you twist to both sides? Also, I sometimes lean forward when lunging (sprinter lunges or something? from an Athlean X vid) would you consider these worthwhile or do they put lower back at risk?
Love this channel yall, i like how he explains stuff. he doesnt just give suggestions, but also explains the logic behind them . would recommend to all my workout buddies
Hi Scott thanks for the information
I would love to know how to fix my lunges because having belly fat kind of restrains me from doing it correct. It is like my belly keeps forcing my spine to lean forward though my attempts to stay in that natural position. Something that distracts me from focusing on the move. ANY TIPS HERE?
P.S: I do the walking lunges!
Thanks in advance
Don’t underestimate the power of a barbell lunge… Hello jelly legs
Jeff does them without weights to demonstrate, but does any experienced gym goers actually do this exercise without weights? Do you recommend doing them without weights, because when I add heavier weight it doesn’t seem to be targetting quads, glutes, and abs like they should, it just feels like more stress on my knees, hips and back
This May I started to do (forward) lunges, I already have squats in my exercise before but I added lunges, and after a few days my left knee hurts when I was about to do some squats
I still did some forward lunges in my workout after that while feeling that left knee pain, but recently I stopped doing the forward lunges, only squats and some reverse lunges, any idea when will this left knee pain while doing the leg exercises will heal? or any natural remedy to heal this?
while doing lunges going on front foot on 90 degrees the front of the knee cap or inside the knee cap hurts for some reason
any help or stretches would be helpful?thank you
I have no idea what I have. The left knee has started getting light dull pain just resting not when doing the exercises. However I have weak glutes and as a compensation, much stronger quad and hamstring. Left hip a bit in anterior tilt and often standing on locked or almost locked knee, quad and hamstring often firing up instead of glute, walking or so. Those muscles, hamstring and quad are also often very tight and after exercising almost stay in tension. The left foot points more open than the right one and also had a broken pinky toe at some point. Tight something, a tendon perhaps, in the inner thigh as well, preventing from sitting like in an easier version of lotus pose without feeling burn/locking up there.
Now the knee pain wasn’t a thing until I started exercising glutes and legs. I wonder how common of an issue this is and if this is just the question of training the glute more and stretching those leg muscles (stretching hamstring makes me wanna scream immediately and it just feels like stretching doesn’t help much)? Although I’ve watched other videos of yours that say stretching hamstrings is usually not helping anterior tilted pelvis caused pain. Would that eventually place the bones coming to the knee properly and also hold the foot in a more proper position? Or maybe I’d benefit from some supplement that helps joints? Maybe you’ll address issues like this in a future video.
What I’ve found: Lunges (bad!), Reverse Lunges (better) Static Lunges/static split squats (much better).
This happened to me in a long car ride the pain is still there. Maybe this will help
For athleat who moves forward in their sport are front lungest better:D
Forward lunges would hurt my right knee so bad.. It was like the bones were grinning against each other. Reverse lunge.. No sounds of cracking or pain. Genious
I think this advice is incredibly useful. This is the only youtube video with suggest doing the lunge this way. I tried it one time and never go back. It really saves your knees!!
I so so needed this! My lunges are garbage right now. Hopefully after incorporating your tips I should be seeing some improvements soon! Thanks Scott!
It really does help… much better variation for painful knees
Wow, I’ve never done these and the difference is night and day. Once again Jeff is a gem
The angle of your tibia in both your front and reverse lunge is very knee dominant. Regardless of choosing front or reverse lunge, it is probably better if you keep your tibia more vertical in order to encourage more hip dominance, therefore reducing stresses on the quad and in turn knee joint hopefully resulting in less pain because of that.
Personally I will prescribed reverse lunges, not because of open or closed chain, although that is a good point, but because in a reverse lunge I find patients are less prone to conducting the lunge with knee dominance. When doing a forward lunge I find the forward momentum of the movement encourages the knee to be more forward of the ankle, thus making the exercise more knee dominant. That’s not to say I wouldn’t prescribed forward lunges, it’s just when trying to combat knee pain and the patient has this movement pattern I find myself having to intervene a lot more than than if I prescribe reverse lunges and ultimately I want the patients to be able to manage without me in the long term and be pain free doing it.
Bruh…It’s so simple it’s genius. I never would’ve thought to do this in reverse.
It hurts when I’m moving up to s straight standing position from a lunge. What might be the cause of that?
This is so so helpful. I always have pain and stiffness above my knee cap after I do lunges. Will definitely try the reverse lunges instead.
Bless you! I’m not 100% sure why, but I couldn’t keep proper form on a forward lunge after about 3 reps because I would lose my balance. I can actually keep proper form on the reverse lunge with no balance issues whatsoever.
Would you say lunges are worth substituting for the reverse ones on a perm basis as a safer option or only if you get the pain
I don’t think making fun of instagram retards is the way to go… I get that SJW vibe from you and it kinda takes away the quality of your videos and you’re giving them even more views. Anyway good content, keep it up!
Why does my knee hurt with the leg that isn’t stepping forward it’s like when it stretches that way I feel joint pain which started happening recently out of nowhere? Please help.
Jeff! You are the man! Thank you for sharing. My wife and greatly appreciate your hard work. Cheers!
Im pretty sure i pulled my quad doing this. I did them last week and felt great, went to go again monday and first drop down instant pain in the front of my quad like a 1″ strip half way down my quad.. could be hip flexor? Is that a common issue? Im not in alot of pain so not serious but curious if this is common. I can do all other exercise pain free so donno what happened. Fairly new to actively exercising.
These videos are so helpful!
I do have a question about my knee cap, tendon, and quad stretch. When I stretch my quads, I often feel the stretch more just above my knee cap rather than the middle of my quads. I’m guessing that would be one of my tendons and it doesn’t feel good so I’ll stop. I’m not sure if I’m doing it wrong or if something else is affecting it. It’s the same knee that often has pain and popping, which I’ve been slowly addressing my feet, ankles, and hips in order to fix it. Oh! And the inside of my thigh on that same leg has been tight, I’m pretty sure I pulled that muscle and each time I try to stretch it carefully it still ends up feeling worse afterwards.
What is ultimately causing it and how can I fix it?
I can’t see a Dr or anyone for about 6 months, that’s how far out the appointments are. It’s not serious but it’s definitely bothersome.
Is there really any difference to even bother with forward lunges even if it does not bother your knees?
Glad I found this. I can squat, deadlift and leg press all day long. I’ve always struggled with lunges. Guess since I’ve not done them for a while, and I’m not obligated to do them how I had to back in the high school days, I can start with body weight to work on form and technique and then promote to dumbbells or weighted barbell. Thanks man!!!
Lunges are unnecessary unless you’re playing a sport. Causes anterior translation to knee. Which destroys knees. Effect of exercise is quads some adductor muscle involvement and 2 of the 3 gluteal muscles ate worked. Theres 20 exercises that work the same muscles and have almost no risk or downside. You exercise unless your playing a sport to stay healthy. Why would I purposely hurt my knees if I’m not playing a sport. Ridiculous…ex physical therapist??? Now we know why your an EX…p.t. Terrible advice. Borderline if you’re a professional trainer you can get sued. If you’re a PT you learned that lesson already…loss of license n possibly a malpractice suit to you and the person overseeing your work.
What activities or exercises are recommended to improve the lower back muscles? I have been having lower back pain, soreness and stiffness, however want to improve my core and other muscles related to the lower back.
What about walking lunges?? Do they put pressure in the knee
My toes hurt when I’m doing lunges I can’t do lunges at all
Someday not far off I will move to the US and train with Jeff as my PT! I’m gonna make that happen..Ur videos are phenomenal Jeff!
Love from a doctor in India
This helps a bit but still have pain. My knee doesn’t track forward but tracks out. I will look for another video from you.
And just imagine how many fitness books including personal trainers manuals teach doing forward lunges.. you always need to do extra research
Actually u should keep your shin perpendicular to the floor stretch your foot out further
I had arthroscopic surgery on my knee. The Dr had to drain it,cut my ligament and move my knee cap back over. I’ve been going through physical therapy and I find it hard to do lunges and we’ve been practicing after over two months from surgery. Any suggestions on doing lunges and working the knee too strengthen it again. I had Pigmented villonodular synovitis.
i get knee pain in lunges but not on the excercising leg, its in the supporting leg.
Brilliant. I’ve avoided lunges for years because of that stabbing pain and the days of pain that followed. Going to start slow and see if this changes things.
I was doing sprinter lunges as suggested in one of your videos and was feeling a little pain near my patellar tendon.
Searched ‘pain with lunges’ andthis came up. You really have a solution to everything!
Thanks for the dissertation! Most people just smile and say ‘Buck up’ without any scientific explanation, so this is very much appreciated.
Great information although the part I gathered most was painless lunges; it’s true. Thanks for biblical amounts of athlete training information for most all ages and levels of gym experiences and athletic talents. Great job you are a “gym!”
But what about the sharp knee pain that hits in the BACK leg? When the knee goes down towards the ground, that is when sharp pain occurs.
Again, I am referring to the knee pain in the leg that is in the back, with knee touching (or almost touching) the ground. That is where the worst pain is for me, to a point that it is difficult to stand back up. What to do to alleviate that one?
Thanks in advance
This is brilliant!! Forward lunges are brutal for my knees (even with proper form), but the reverse lunges are painless!! You are the best!! Thank you for saving my knees and providing such a great service!!
I don’t think that there is someone as good as Scott when it comes to fitness and tips and tricks, advice and other. So much respect for him!!! He is dropping some free knowledge!!!
HI Jeff, I can’t do lunges because I have a disability in my legs and there is a difference of almost 5 cms between them, and the only exercise I can’t do is front or reverse lunges. What could you recommend me?
Holy crap. My knees sting like like that whenever I apply weight while bending them. I’ve been told it’s that particular tendon as well.
Alongside this exercise, is there a sort of rehabilitation routine I can do to get over this issue to be able to train my legs properly again?
(You probably won’t see this but I’m really really hoping you do!)
My patella popped out when I was in high school and I avoided lunges ever since. Now I’m trying to learn the proper way bc it causes me pain while doing other exercises
For me it’s the knee that’s close to the ground that hurts, in my case it’s my left knee. When I alternate, that same knee feels ok…what could I do to alleviate the pain?
How harmful is it to to land and push off of the ball of your foot during a forward lunge?
Love the explanations great channel thank you awesome I can work out now Im always going to this channel for workout advise
great advice and alternative to forward lunges that honestly become harder with age.
As far as reps do you guys count each leg as one or, do you doth both legs and count that?
I’ve heard that you should avoid the iso quad machine because it puts too much force on the knee. But should you always avoid forward lunges? I’ve never heard someone say it can’t be done safely.
Nice. I’ll give it a shot. Sound exactly like the pain I’m getting.
I’ve been searching for some time, I want to know where I should put my focus when doing a lunge.
When I step forward to do a lunge, in which leg should I put my weight? Should I push my front stepped out leg back to go in to normal position?
is there a different muscle being focused on when doing the stationary alternating lunge compared to the curtsey lunge?
and is there different muscles being involved?
Good tutorial on forward lunges and backward lunges but doesn’t real solve the knee pain issue. Also reverse lunges over recruits the Adductor Magnus muscle so for guys who thighs rub together when they walk reverse Lunges is not the way to go.
your comment on fwd lunge but stepping with the mid food instead of stepping with the heal.
What to do if u feel pain on the other leg, that stays in the same position?
Would you recommend the reverse lunge for ppl who are slew footed (toes pointed outward) because I have problems with my stability. If I go in the motion with my toes pointed forward then that knee starts to point inward… and if I leave my toes out that feels really uncomfortable putting that force on the side of my foot rather than the ball of my foot
Hey there, I’m just starting with exercising at home. Your channel helps a lot. Is it only for man or also for woman?
Can you do the same with sideway lunges? Reverse them? My knees hurt a lot..
I have the pain either way. Squatting I get the knee pain at near 90° angle of the knee joint.
Feeling a meniscus sort of pain from side lunges I think. Not sure what to do about that.
Is there a video fro Athlean X on how to reverse lunge correctly?
Hi, I am a 33 yr old female, that has patellar tendonitis. I have had mild symptoms for at least 6 weeks, but now only experiencing discomfort with certain moves? Should I continue training as normal, only modifying/doing alternates of those moves causing discomfort? Then adding in moves to help strengthen above and below the knee as seen in other videos on your channel? Thanks!
Thank you! I’ve been having some small pains during my lunges and this may well be the answer!
I recently found this channel and am loving it. Jeff is so generous with his knowledge!
Ive seen other advice that says you actually want to lean forward on the lunge and not stay vertical….
Hey Jack. I incorporate the Lunge into a lot of my Leg days whether it be resistance training like doing a weighted lunge squat or vertical jump training unweighted reflexive training moves like rhythmic jump squats. I’m not sure I have my ratio though of low rep, hvy weight (strength) workouts vs. my med-high rep, quick low or unweighted workouts (power). What sort of balance would you try to achieve if your goal was gaining inches on your vertical?
Your channel has been around for years, I see you’ve changed a lot and think this is an awesome niche. Congrats on enduring and your fitness and physique related achievements.
Greetings from Germany! really like your Videos, especially your way of explaining the exercises!! Keep going!:)
Hey dude I’m a 16 y/o male, 5’4″ 135lbs and I’m in the normal range on the BMI scale, but fairly close to overweight and I need some help getting myself into a “slim” figure again. Last week I’ve started working out along with your 15min at home no equipment circuit vid and started reducing my caloric intake per day, and I’ve lost about 1 1/2 lbs already, making me 133lbs8oz. I was wondering If you could further guide me on what to do next, if I’m doing anything wrong, and what I can do to speed up the process and make it more effective.
I’ve lived with congenital joint defects in both of my feet (only one of which has been operated on so far), so leg workouts are especially hard for me. I’ve started doing lunges and they prove to be difficult! To those who are recovering from injuries or are under beginner level I recommend strengthening your core and leg equilibrium by balancing on a bosu for 5-10 minutes before attempting the lunge. As the days go on, everything becomes easier I just wanted to provide some deviated insight! Thanks again for the great video =D
Tried these today, nearly busted my ass three times but quads were burning
What would you do if you cant go back up when you go down? Like if i want to do it to failure or if i think in able to do it but i cant?
I notice you bring legs together between lunges, do you recommend continuing your step and not stopping?
Why do all you bozos feel the need to do these videos shirtless? You can absolutely do a lunge with a fucking shirt on.
Thank you Dr. Coach Brian, and thank you for the demonstration. I’m off to see what else you have.
expecting knee pain during lunging, I don’t want to stop doing it, I think it’s a great staple workout, any suggestions (I only do bodyweight lunges)
What are the best quad isolation exercises with a barbell / free weight?
ever since i started doing reverse lunges with a resistance band the pain in my left knee flares. not sure what to do because the dr. told me to exercise and this happens when i only do a few lunges. I keep doing little by little everyday an i like to think I’m gradually getting better but the pain is making me worry. can you help?
Whomever shoot this video did a really good job, the camera movement with the exercises are insane.
My knee is in very weak condition, I’m no athlete. I reverse lunge five times in the morning and five times at night. It makes my leg stronger.
That is along with other exercises.
This is a great idea for a home workout, all variations of lunge bodyweight workout session, burn it!..thx Ashley and Brian!
Bookmarked in my Health & Fitness folder!!!!
Some great variations!!!!
Hey! great job smiling the entire time. Hey, really enjoyed that. Hey thanks.
They all appeal to me, but as much as I like #14 and #15 I have to be sure I don’t crush my kneecaps (I guess I’ll be buying one of those foam floor pads). I’m going to add a few of these to my “bodyweight only” leg workout. I don’t do squats with weights anymore due to lower back compression. But I know you can get a killer leg workout with bodyweight only and a good routine. Thanks for the video.
Just wanted to leave a comment to show some support besides liking the vid ❤️
Wow!! Coach Brian gracias por compartir, buen entrenamiento, gracias Ashley.
