rate dumbell lunges

[smaul]

As the title says, who does them?  Should I do them.  They seem to mainly get my arse sore when I do them.

Going backwards....stepping forewards then back to start position....walking....s plit stance (split squat)??

Stepping forward and back to where I started.  When I do them walking my knees hurt.

lunges are great but i have a hard time fitting them in my routine

One of the very best quad/glute exercises there is. i do them after squats.

Try pausing at the bottom, makes them much more effective.

If you like these try step ups with a barbell on your back.

Do one leg at a time with the lead foot on a small platform..............12-15 reps per leg,3-4 sets after squats or leg presses.

Very good exercise that I used to think was just for women.

Try Walking DB Lunges too.................very humbling and you`ll be as sore as hell for a couple of days.

A lot of guys think that.    I've seen MAYBE 3 guys at my gym doing them.

It's good, should definitely incorporate unilateral leg exercises in your routine like Db Lunges, Barbell Lunges, Bulgarian Split Squats, Step ups, etc.

[Gym dude]

I do walking db lunges as well when i train legs.The next day I am sore as hell including by glutates or case of TAS meaning tight ass syndrome.

As JPM and The Coach have said to me, single leg work makes you more functional and will improve your squat.

[powerpack]

I do reverse lunges with dumbells sometimes
I do this when my back is sore from squats.
I definitely think they have their place.

awesome exercise.

Try pushing off your ankle, rather than your toes. This will help you use your quad more than your glutes.

I love BB Lunges, done up to 225 for 6-8 reps. I mainly prefer using a BB, but I've done DB's too.
If I can find the room in a gym, I will do walking lunges a la Ronnie. This is the best version that I prefer, though getting the BB on and off your shoulders can be challenging if you even have the room to do it. Squat racks are great in this case....
