Reverse lunge on the cable

When performing the lunges with the barbell, position yourself in front of a rack with a hip-width stance. Grasp the barbell and lift it from the rack. Subsequently, move away from the rack to ensure sufficient space for executing the lunges with the barbell. Ensure that your back is entirely upright, forming a natural arch. Keep your gaze forward, and engage your abdominal muscles.

Movement execution

Initiate the lunges with the barbell by taking a large step backward. The front leg should be bent, forming a right angle between the upper and lower leg. Additionally, ensure that the knee does not extend beyond the toe. The back leg is extended, and the knee moves just above the floor. Inhale during this phase, gathering strength to push yourself back up to the upright starting position through the heel of the front leg. Maintain a fully upright upper body without tilting forward or backward. In the starting position, the legs are once again side by side.
