How to Do Barbell Reverse Lunge

Form Cues

1. 1

   Step straight back, front shin vertical, lower back knee toward floor

2. 2

   Drive through front heel to return

3. 3

   Keep the bar secure on your upper traps the whole time, same setup as a back squat

4. 4

   Keep your torso upright throughout, avoiding a forward lean under the load

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Front knee caving inward — focus on pushing the knee out over the second toe throughout

• ●

  Taking too short a step back, forcing the front knee past the toes

• ●

  Losing upper back tightness under load, letting the bar shift or bounce during the step
