quadsgluteshamstrings
beginnerBodyweightcompound
Form Cues
- 1
Step straight back, front shin vertical
- 2
Lower back knee toward floor without touching
- 3
Keep your torso upright throughout, resisting any forward lean
- 4
Drive through the front heel to return to standing
Common Mistakes
- ●
Front foot too close causing knee to track forward — step back far enough for a vertical shin
- ●
Losing balance by rushing the step — control the descent before adding speed
- ●
Pushing off the back foot to help stand — the front leg should do essentially all the work
Equipment Variations
- ▸
Dumbbell reverse lunge as loaded progression
- ▸
Bulgarian split squat as advanced variation
