Barbell Side Lunge
Why you need to do this:
Your legs are designed to work on all different planes of motion, not just forward and backward. Training lunges in a multitude of directions works muscles from new angles,strengthening ligaments, tendons, and stabilizing muscles while building size and improving sports performance.
Targets:
Glutes, quads, inner and outer thighs and calves
Set-up:
Balance a barbell across your shoulders and traps and stand with your feet hip width apart, knees soft and toes forward. Lift your chest and stand up straight
Action:
Take a large step to the side with your right leg, bending your right knee deeply while straightening your left leg. When your right thigh comes parallel to the floor, push off explosively with your right foot, bringing your legs back together in the starting position.
