I love leg day. So i'm thinking about adding an exercise. (I already do the basics.) I've never done lunges before. Are they a worthwhile movement or are they a little too gay? What's better, with a barbell or with dumbbells?
-
I like Barbell Lunges.
-
I like dumbbells
-
They are pretty much a fixture in our lower body programs, replaces leg extensions. Walking lunge, front lunge, reverse lunge, zercher lunge, DB lunge, over head lunge, lateral lunge, etc, etc, etc, etc......anything to stay away from a machine.
-
***Disclaimer - I'm not a beast***
but
imo, a leg program isn't complete w/out lunges. i like to superset w/ leg press or hack squats
-
Love walking barbell lunges. Try to find an area that allows you enough distance to get good reps in without changing direction. If I have to change direction, always fucks my breathing up

A form of lunges with the kettlebell.

Kettlebells are an excellent form of cardio incorporating weight.
And I could have made $300 flipping the tire Fri, but I didn't take his money. ;)

Lunges are shit - I never do them.
-
squats, straight leg dead lifts, and leg curls

You are a good man no matter what these homos say. Tell me about the kettlebells how are you incoporating them with cardio?

Youtube Steve Cotter.
Kettlebells are cardio, if you've never used them try it, you'll see.

I have a bit of a sore vagina (arthritis) in my right big toe which lunges tend to aggravate, but when I can tolerate them they are one of my favorite leg exercises.

i think your going to find it hard to get thick seperation and striations in yoru quads without leg extensions, they are simply the best at isolating the quads, and really seem to boost definition. they dont do much at all for size, maybe a little bti to the tear drop, upper outer top of the quads, but its main effect is to etch in the V muscle in the middle of the quadracep, at least thats what it does for me

Squats and Lunges are much better for people with knee problems in a controlled manner meaning no bouncing. They are natural movements.

muscle contraction is natural, whether its fixed plane or not. yes, free wieights are definitely much more natural than any kind of machine because the balance, angle, plane and range of motion are all controlled and dictated by you, and all your "core" and stabilizer muscles. however, just because a lift is done on a machine with a fixed plane of motion, doesnt mean it loses effectivness at stimulating the target muscle. although one might need more total weight due to differences in angle and friction between free weights and machines..

Kicking a ball. I swear when I done them I had ridiculous power in my shot when I played.
My leg routine is very basic. Squat, deadlift, front squat, leg curl and leg extension. Simples.

I can't remember the last time I did a leg extension or leg curl.

Unless you're doing it for bodybuilding, they're pretty much useless.

I would not say useless but yea I guess I am trianing for size.

Great way for training glutes without taking a seat of shame on the butt machine.
-
You love leg day but havedn't done lunges?! They hit lower quads better than anything else imo
-

you get to sit down and take a good rest ;)

yeah your nuts seem to drive themselves back up in the stomach when you decide to add the butt machine to your routine...
-

Why?
Because the entire weight of the body (plus barbell) is solely focused onto one knee to stall the weight, recover, and get you back up for the next rep - there's too much pressure focused on one point which is seriously unbalanced from a biomechanics point of view. Lunges are supposed to hit the lower quads but you'll get the same results (if not better) with hacks where the whole body is sufficiently supported evenly.
Dorian never did lunges and I come from that school of thought - you'll never see anyone in Temple Gym doing lunges - besides, there just isn't the room!

Muscles can only shrink, stay the same or get bigger, definition is achieved by lowering bodyfat, hope this helps.

This is true to a certain extent.

Well you can say that about the leg curl too. I don't remember having to lay on my back and push anything off me, so the bench press too is worthless as is the incline and decline. I can't remember the last time I had to lay on my back and lower something to my forehead and then press it back up (skullcrushers). Wow I could list all kinds of exercises that would be worthless then. So in your opinion how would we work these muscles. Just wondering

leg curl is about as useless as a bicep curl , your an idiot

before you start calling people names, learn to back up your quote. I have more use for a leg curl than I do for a leg extension and from an athletic stand point, we will bicep curls for basically 2 reasons...1. To give my athletes a bigger ego and 2. To help keep their elbows healthy.
We will do hammer and zottman curls in some of our rotator cuff work.

for lying leg curl...if youre on your stomach and someone is grabbing your ankles and legs and trying to pull you and hurt you, you would need your hamstrings to be strong so u could kick them away and get to safety.
for incline and decline press, if stuff fell on you you would need to push it off you so you dont die, or if u need to hold something above your head for along time like a structure or attic door or ladder...and for skull crushers if you are trapped somewhere deep or doing manual labor you might need to lower stuff to and from your forehead
if you need help w any other examples just let me know

Well for your example of the leg extension, if you were sitting in a chair and you wanted to kick someone walking by you need that movement ;D If you are getting fittred for a pair of shoes and the guy starts tickling your feet you need that movement to make him stop ;D If lets you are sitting in a chair and someone falls down in front of you you need that movement to kick them out of the way ;D See my examples are as dumb as yours. If you need help w any othe examples just let me know ::)
